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?

English is not my native language and I struggle with the names for tools in my native too. So I think I have a drill and a drill with the hammer function (that's the one for concrete walls right?)

I still need to wrestle an answer out of google about what an impact driver is but ATM I am quite happy with the drill options I have.

No specific project. I come from an abusive home and wasn't taught about or set up with a tool starter kit or anything. I would just like to learn to be more handy. Do little things around the flat. I've recently added two large branches to the main room that frame a photo wall. Where my glaring lack of tools in general did not help.

Hey no worries. I understand completely and had a not too dissimilar upbringing. Good on you!

This may help you understand a bit more. https://youtu.be/43cuU0lP6To
