To me, a reciprocating saw is an up and down blade on a jig saw, or a Sawzall. An oscillating saw has a blade that vibrates left to right, such as for removing caulk on the roof per Larry. I just saw a really good idea for adding to the functionality and versatility of oscillating saws on Wimp.com. It is a short video clip at Oscillating saw link (https://www.wimp.com/diy-oscillating-saw-blade-hack/)

Very cool. I’m especially happy to see this because I have a feeling Santa is bringing me an oscillating saw for Christmas!
As if I needed a reason to buy an oscillating saw ........ <smile>
