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?

A small cheap tool set is going to save you money over a decent multi-tool and be much easier to use. One for the home, one for your transportation, and finally a multi-tool for when you're caught with your pants down. Just make sure you know why you're buying the tools you're buying.
