All you NEED is a spoke wrench. For minor tuneups, just use the brake pads as your guide --- left/right, up/down. If your wheel needs re-dishing then you'll need to buy specialized tools or take it to a wheelbuilder.
Pick the wheel off the ground and give it a spin, using the bike as your truing stand. Follow the guidelines provided in the aforementioned links and you should be able to tweak the wheels to keep 'em trued.
