Get the hex ones bro, the square ones are too damn sharp (I've cut myself twice on  the brass square ones)

X2 nothing ruins the weekend like a sliced open foot from those friggin plugs attacking you as you step on the bowl to get back in the boat.

Hex socket style is the best. Not every store will have them. Most automotive stores will.

I just tried everything to pull mine out to hit the zerk on the other side with a couple of shots of grease, and preceded to twist the head right off it (brass) :banghead: :mad: Assuming I ever get it out, are the hex ones brass too?
