[Mgs] Differential drain plug tool

[Chris Attias]

There are a lot of specialized 1/2" drive sockets and double-ended
swiveling square-drive wrenches, but I've always liked the cast steel
dog-bone wrench with square drive on one end and hex drive on the other. I
have a Ken-Tool G-12. Relatively cheap, durable, and provides good
leverage. Can be whacked with a hammer if necessary.
