Sounds like a Fein Multimaster, although similar designs are available from other companies.
I know of 4 different ones already. The Fein is virtually impossible to beat. Bosch seems to come close, the rest ... who knows. We don't need a DeWalt.
more.
If you need a tool like that, Fein has no equal, much less any real competition.

Not sure if it's the one you are talking about, but I bought a Clarke Crocodile Saw like the one below.
The Fein like the Multimax is an oscillating tool. Or perhaps you're thinking he mistook the device for a saw?
Maybe you are talking about a jamb saw. They have rotating blades though, not reciprocating.

"What can this $200 set do that a $60 ($40 on sale now) HF multi-function power tool can't?" I wondered aloud.
The toomanytwinkiestroll was likely referring to a toe-kick saw. That's an inline version of your Croc.

Can't really answer that since I haven't used it yet, but I was buying some other stuff from the same online tool store at the time and the description was something along the lines of a "do everything" tool. That was enough to snag me.
Think it went something like: It's meant to be operated one-handed and will cut through metals, plywood, ceramic tile, conduit and tubing.
