Bikes: 2012 Giant Escape, 199? Specialized HardRock

Creeking bottom bracket

My 2012 Giant Escape 2 has developed a creek in the bottom bracket, has around 2000 miles on the bike. It will creek wile pedaling or just having my feet on the pedals. I have ruled out the pedals by putting the cheap stock pedals back on so my guess is crank arms (which appear to be tight checking with a 8mm t handle allen wrench) or bottom bracket. Everything else on the bike is tight. I would rather buy the tools to do the job myself so Im going to need a crank arm puller tool and a bottom bracket tool. Can somewon recommend the correct Park tools for the job and would just tightening the bottom bracket solve this issue? Also, I had the chain off this morning and didnt notice any play or noises while on the repair stand. Thanks in advance for any help.
