They're easier to store than individual tools giving more shed room for the all important cars and parts.

Combi tools are great. I have the Stihl KM 56 RC engine.
Have been using this as my line trimmer for the last 10 months and was sick of the weight hence the Husqvarna.
Regarding bent shafts, I had always preferred these for some reason. I still have a FS 45, which replaced another FS 45 that broke its drive cable/shaft. Was cheaper to replace the whole unit than having it repaired. I got my money worth out of it. I was running these, again, for the weight factor, 4.1 kg.
