second part of that is if i buy the tekno nut drivers should i just get one handle and the bits seperately? it doesnt look like theres a set. Im laos guessing i need the wheel and shock wrench no matter what in addition to the tekno shock tool.
thanks in advance guys!
If you already have those, the Associated hex driver there will work fine. I personally didn't care for the quality of the tips, but there are certainly worse ones on the market. You'll use the metric sizes on it, which are the 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 2.5mm. Note that the 2.0mm size is not listed, but is actually there, as it doubles with one of the imperial sizes that they do list.
As for the nut drivers, it looks like those are all also imperial (aka "standard" and done in fractions of an inch). Those will NOT be the correct sizes.
You will need 5mm for the shock piston nut, 5.5mm for a few other nuts, and 7mm for some nuts. I don't believe the 8mm is needed for anything other than the short course wheel nuts.
You CAN get just 1 handle from Tekno and the tips you need, but if you want to use 2 at the same time, such as many often do for putting the shocks onto the towers, then you'll want at least 2 handles. Since you only need 3 of the 4 nut drivers, and it is cheaper to get the handle and driver tip together than apart, I'd just pick up the nut drivers as a whole tool, and then you'll be good to go.
As for the shock wrench multi-tool...it is my favorite tool, so I highly highly recommend it!
