1/2" drive is too loose it seems which means it is larger but what size? It's not like there is a square drive drain plug wrench out there, and the local shop doesn't have square stock in all different sizes to sell. What do you guys do?

Mac tools offer square drain plug sockets as i have both the square and hex males . They are made to fit the plugs alot better then any breaker bar or ratchet now with out going out to the truck and give ya all the sizes they start at around 1/4 up to like 3/4 maybe and inch . Now like all special tools they do not come cheap. But they do not round out drain plugs .

I took a piece of square steel larger that the plug and ground the end to fit. I then bent the steel to make a handle to turn the plug. It's a simple, but effective tool for the job.

You may want to try using some 8-point sockets.

How would that help? He's talking about the square-drive drain plugs, the ones that have the square socket sunk into them. An 8-point socket is only useful for pipe plugs.

I believe its 3/4' If you get a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter that will work or a 3/4" socket set. You can get an apdapter at alot of the parts stores or sears. JON
