Multitool is more useful on the removal/prep than the building. The Fein is an effective sander as well though.
Not to put you off buying one, they are essential for a professional but they pay for themselves over a longer time by getting problem jobs done quickly.
Unless you have very tough (i.e. expensive) blades they will eat blades if you end up chewing through a hardened screw in a piece of wood. Blades consumption can end up being expensive if you're not careful.
Many times though, even if it costs in time and blades, if there's a thing that needs cutting in a difficult spot things might well have been much worse without one. I do use mine for cutting floorboards, a depth stop is handy in this case. Just in case a plumber has notched the central heating pipes.
Also handy for removing the grout between tiles if you need to lift a single tile.

Also good for safe pumpkin carving and Christmas tree trunk narrowing.

Yeah my dads got a Fein corded and we use it all the time, absolute workhorse. I’ve tried the cheap blades and expensive ones and they all seem to never last, so just buy the cheap ones now and throw away.

Thanks @bq @Airhead @hugo7 on the multitool front.
Tasks I have to do:
Cut out a built in cupboard / skirting to take it back to an alcove (to put a fridge in there and box it up).
Remove tiled splashback and prep it for a sheet of something (tbd)
Quick trims on the back of new units to fit existing pipework etc.
Probably other things.
