Default Buying Valve Adjustment tools... Can someone verify my list? Snap-On

I'm buying from Snap-On the following:

45 degree feeler gauges (.006" thru .030")
10mm jam-nut screw valve tool
12mm jam-nut screw valve tool

are those the only tools I need to adjust the valves on all D series, B series, and H series motors?

I am going to buy these and then whenever a friend needs their valves adjusted, $20.... figure they should pay themselves off pretty quick...

anyway, just need to make sure I only need these two sizes.

Regards,
Erik

just use normal open-ended wrenchs and a flat head... it works fine.. a little cumbersome at first but it's not a big deal.

Those should be the only parts you need though if you want to buy the snap-on ones...

Just get the 10mm snap-on one. I got one myself, don't need it for the d-series since it's easy to get to. But for the B-series VTECs...it's a biatch to get to.

i know B series are both 10 and 12mm depending on whether it's DOHC or DOHC VTEC. not sure about the D and H series since i don't use them at all. the Snap-On and Blue Point valve adjustment tools work very well, that is what i use currently.
