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?

    There are a few situations in which a multitool comes in super handy, and in most of those situations it’s nearly the only thing that’ll save you time and/or effort. But as a general tool, your better off getting other things first.

    My advice for your situation would be a jigsaw. My “power tool journey” from standard home improvement into beginner woodworker so far has been:

    • Electric Drill
    • Hammer drill (houses around here are concrete mostly)
    • Jigsaw
    • Handheld Circular Saw
    • Multitool
    • Random Orbital Sander
    • Mitre Saw
    • Job-site size table saw
    • Trim Router
