M18 multi-tool has a huge ass though.
This is true, and ideally I would have got the M12, but that would have meant also getting batteries that would only work with that. Big as it is, it is still way more convenient (cordless and WAAAY better blade change) than my corded one and if I want some M12 stuff in future I can revisit.

Mostly good purchases! M18 multi-tool has a huge ass though. Was nearly gonna go Makita but they only do an 18v multi-tool and it has the same problem, huge.
I got an M12 and just use the 2.0 and 4.0 batteries from my car tools in it. The 2.0 lasts only about ten minutes TBH, however its very small and has already paid for itself in just a few jobs where nothing else (powered) would fit, I'd have been at it with a pruning saw or a bare blade arm stuck inside a wall kind of a deal.
powertoolmate or the other one has fueled (jesus) my addiction for the last year. You can often get the proper foam fitted boxes for between £0 and £10 per each if you have no life and messa round with the kit builders/combo deals/adding and removing stuff from the baskets. Makes transporting them a lot easier as they all lock together. The blow moulded cases are pretty trashy.
