1) You can get an 8-point socket to fit square plugs. I think you need a
7/16.
...however...
2) If you are lucky you can get a 4-point socket to fit square plugs. I
have a Blackhawk impact socket of this kind. The only markings
are "7/16" on one side "014" on the other, and "BLACKHAWK / MADE IN USA"
on the other. This little toy is probably older than me, so I'm not sure
of their availability... but somewhere there must be a pile...
