I use a set of craftsman metric ignition wrenches and a feeler gauge for my engines.

You don't need special tools for adjusting the valves on these engines.
A pair of ignition pliars (for the adjuster locknut) and a small screwdriver, that fits, is all you need.
Bring the appropriate rocker arm to its highest position and adjust the screw in the rocker arm so that there is just some light visible between the pushrod and the rocker arm, then double it. Tight up the nut and you are home free.
On the other hand, if you are an obsessive/compulsive kind of guy, by all means buy the tools with OS stamped/engraved/painted on them, or you won't get a single nights sleep until you do.
I'm sure that all of the anal retentive types will chew me out over this response, but it is the truth. Our engines just aren't that critical.
