Default timing/balance shaft belt tools

Did a search but I did not find much about the purchase of these tools. I had an order with 9xauto but decided that the tool is not worth the money. Where is my best bet to get the tools needed to tension the belts (the pin holder and offset low profile wrench)? Thanks for the help. If this has been covered in a search I apologize. I did not find it. Also when I got to Napa to get the cricket do I just ask for that and they will know what I'm talking about? Is there a substitute to the wrench? Like a low profile wrench.

While I’m on the subject what is the correct method to remove the valve guides? Just hammer them out from the combustion chamber out the top? Also what are your experiences with removing bent valves? I got all of the straight valves and one of the bent ones out with the compressor I bought but the bent ones don’t want to come out.

Sorry for all of the questions.

The collet wrench from a Porter Cable router works for the tensioner pulleys. They should be cheap at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Ask for the Kricket KR-1 at NAPA. They will probably have to look it up in their book.
