Perhaps someone will know what it's called and where I can get a cheap one.

Fein Supercut.

Looks like the distribution's sewn up,so there are no cheap
one's but there are similar tools on the market IIRR. And
there's always ebay.

Top is Fein Multimaster

But cheaper are available.

Bosch make the best branded one. 

Don't touch the Worx with a pole unless they are making spares for it.

Aldi did a decent clone a few weeks ago using the Bosch parts.

Rather than the Fein and its clones (which are much smaller lighter 
weight versions of what you describe), I expect you are talking about 
the Arbortech Allsaw:

The UK price is somewhat higher than £400 though:

I nipped in Aldi today and they have started discounting items left 
over from previous sales. These and several other items were a little 
more than 1/2 the original price.

Depends if the OP was planning to cut his way into a bank vault, or
merely thinking about notching out some cable routes.

And you'll pay dearly for it cobber (pushing £800 last time I looked, not
to mention cost of blades).

They also make a cordless Li-Ion model which is the mutt's ... when it's
working. Mine packed up some months ago and it took ages to get
repaired, with Bosch failing to arrange a pickup until prodded twice by
the retailer*, and then instead of repairing it ASAP demanding paperwork to
prove that it was in the year's guarantee despite the tool having been on
the market for less than a year!

* Miles Tool & Machinery, who were pretty helpful throughout. And who I
bought it from in the first place because they were best priced, but when
the one I'd bought failed to turn up despatched another without quibble.
