I have box with some tools and spare parts nearby, it usually contains: second wrench for unscrewing fittings; spatula or metal scraper for removing skirts and priming lines; pliers for remove gunk from nozzle; flush cutters or nail clippers for cutting filament; 7 mm socket for unscrewing nozzle. I don't think you need special screwdrivers or anything - smallest key you need is 1.5 mm for hotend grub screws (unless you replace those).

I would consider buying an Allen kit for the various Allen screws and also a T10 torx bit or screwdriver. Other than that you might need replacement screws in case you want to add things on your printer but it's better to get the tools now and worry about the screws later.

Well, those are just tools I have immediately at hand by the printer 🙂 Other things like sets of allen keys or quality screwdrivers are in storage room. And things like scissors or utility knives are already pretty common in households.
