Are these the ones you use to measure and adjust the valves?

Yes. There are other types as well. One type is similar to that one but the last half inch or so is bent @ a 45° angle to make it easier to get in tight spots.
There is also a type that is wire instead of the blades but I don't like them as much.

There are different range types .. ex: socket sets that go from 6mm to 17mm.. and others that skip a few sizes...

Getting the right tension on them takes practice tho, not too tight. but not too loose.. just what every man needs.
