New to DIY. Are multi tools recommended?
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 literally used a multi tool to cut off a stuck kitchen sink faucet nut last night so I’m a little biased at the moment. Used a cheaper Ryobi brand multi tool to get it done.
If you’re in the US, Home Depot constantly has the Ryobi brand on sale. They may not be the “best” tool but they are significantly more affordable and get the job done. I’ve had my set for about two years and it had “orbital sander, circular saw, multi tool, drill, reciprocating saw, and like 3-4 batteries. “
Thanks! Not in the US but I have been wondering which modules are good. And affordability is certainly a very big factor.
I've noticed that, at least in the US, that the blades are MUCH cheaper online. Like my local store sells 1 blade for $20, but I can buy 20-30 blades for the same price online.
