You know what I mean, those saws that vibrate back and forth and] allow you to cut square holes in a piece of wood, or remove a strip from the bottom of a skirting board with it in situ.
There is one make that won't accept the standard bosch-style replacement blades, so i dont want that one.
Only for occasional diy, so don't recommend a £400 job, or the one that was on sale in Lidl months ago !.
You may find that very few accept the bosch-style blades as each manufacture seems to have their own unique fixing. However there are third party suppliers of blades with a universal interface that fit a range of many models. One such supplier is Saxton Blades
Usual name is multi-tool. I thought at first you meant a sabre saw.
General consensus seems to be that Aldi/Lidl models are good value. FWIW I've been perfectly happy with my Bosch. The originals were, I think, Festool and Fein but they seem to be £400 and £300 respectively.
Now available in cordless. I havn't been tempted, never felt really restricted by a mains one but YMMV.
Although confusingly Toolstation is now using the term for what *I* would call Dremels.
Funny you should say that, the ones at Aldi are good value & ok. Or were. O scillating saws.
No, multitool usually.
A waggle or wobble blade is normally a circular saw blade mounted on a sleeve at a slight angle so it cuts a groove wider than the kerf.

But the o.p. was talking abiut a 'Waggle'saw not blade
I have never heard of an oscillating saw referred to as a "Waggle saw", a multi-tool maybe, but waggle & wobble seem fairly interchangeable when referring to that kind of circular saw.
