Default Square 9/16" socket?

Looking for a -square- socket, for the diff fill plug on my old
El Camino. It's got a square 9/16" head, like a pipe plug.
Trying to Google for it but everything is like "what a
socket set is" and if there's anything relevant, it's lost in
the ground clutter.

Anybody know what else to call this, or where I might
find one? Open end wrench in a piece of pipe isn't making
it. Would like to put the impact gun to it if I could.

'double square' is 8pt - that or a 12pt should work... assuming it isnt too tight

How about just a 9/16 open end wrench? That's what I use.

I use them at work all the time for lag bolts. I use craftsman myself.
Never used with an impact. I have 3/8 & 1/2 drive. Hit Sears.

On the off chance that anybody cares, I had no luck at
Sears, Ace, NAPA or Advance and the Snap-On truck was
out of stock. I finally did get one mail-ordered from
"ToolTopia", an 8-pt impact one. But El Squalido has to
sit in the air until it arrives in the mail.
