the tools are thin wrenches with a square drive hole (to torque the nuts up.

I disagree with slinky, the tools are releatively cheap and allow you to do the job correctly (correct torque and with the top yoke in place) and without damage to the nuts (or any other part of the bike). Doing the job with the top yoke in place will better allow you to feel for play in the bearings in my experience.
