The wheel bearing tool is just a drift from the looks of it, I use a socket and that seems to work perfectly, don't know about the rest of them

It is, but saves riveting your sockets over The solenoid tool is a 24mm open end spanner with a hex welded on, not hard to make, but saves a 24mm spanner & a bit of work. Most of the tools can be planned around, even the ones for the VW gearbox which was designed in such a way as you need to butcher ordinary tools to fit, I suspect that this may have been deliberate!
