New to DIY. Are multi tools recommended? (mander.xyz)

See title. I have only very little tools so far, screwdriver with plenty of bits, hammer, drill. I've been thinking of buying more tools for general purpose home improvement. I like to work with wood, unsure what I will expand into later. Is a multitool a good fit for me?

If yes any recommendations what I want to look out for when buying one? If no any alternate recommendations?

I would suggest investing in the tools you need to do the jobs in hand and add to that tool kit as you need to

The problem with that advice is OP will regularly get half way through a job and then find he hasn't got the tool he needs - so the job will be half finished while waiting until he can acquire the tool, which will often take days.
