We have a suite of kitchen tools because sometimes walking downstairs to the garage is to far when all you want to do is measure something real quick or quickly tighten or loosen a screw.
Haha we have a kitchen hammer and screwdriver! Our family found a similar drawer in a vacation home and laughed about it; then we got home and realized how often you just need one of those and itβs great to have one right there!
Yep, the kitchen "junk drawer", filled with a few hand tools, rubber bands and zip ties, batteries, graphite lubricant, matches and lighters, screws and buttons, other miscellaneous bits and bobs.

If only I had that many drawers
Two? One for flatware and cooking utensils, one for "junk".
Not to be mistaken for the kitchen "miscellaneous drawer", filled with condiment packets, wrapped plastic utensils, other large kitchen utensils you rarely use but won't fit in the regular drawer, maybe an extra meat thermometer that you're not sure if it even works.
For a while we had the kitchen shovel.
It was a garden trowel that we had washed and used as a very large spoon when we first moved in, because we hadnβt found the silverware yet.
Sir/Madam do you live in a mansion?
No, just lazy
I also have a small kitchen toolbox under my sink. Tape measure, screwdrivers, an adjustable wrench, pliers, and a small hammer.
It's so I don't have to pull my large toolbox out from the closet in the other room, when I just need to tighten one loose screw. It's trivial, but a necessity for me now
I think a small kitchen tool set is pretty common.
