Fix my gun / Modding Hand tools for regular maintenance

I have a .223,.22LR, 7.62x39 and a 12 gauge. Do I need any kind of speciality screwdrivers for cleaning? I'm in the trades so I have a lot of different sized screwdriver bits but I don't know if I have any super small ones. The only thing I don't have is a torque screwdriver, should I buy a kit with the torque screwdriver and a bunch of different sized heads?

Yes! A torque screwdriver set is a godsend to know you're torquing (and not over torquing) things properly. You'll likely need different amounts for your scope rings, rails, chassis bolts, etc and it's super nice to just be able to dial the number and go.

I’ll add that a vise and a good punch set is super handy!Those roll pins can be a friggin nightmare
