After a bad experience with a petrol driven rotavator a good few years ago
I've rather avoided petrol driven garden machinery. The result is that I
have a battery driven lawnmower that I'm happy with and a battery driven
strimmer which has had 2 batteries in 2 years so I'm considering
alternatives for that.

In considering what to buy I've come across these multi tools that use a
petrol power unit to which you can typically attach a strimmer/brush
cutter, hedge cutter and pole pruner.

I have one and use it a lot, the only attachment I have yet to try is the
brush cutting blade. The other three, Strimmer, Pole saw, and Hedge cutter
have all seen a lot of use and I would loath to manage without them now.
