You can make the tool yourself quite easily and cheaply.  Go to your
local hardware store and ask for a piece of 5/16" square key-stock. It
comes in 2ft lengths or something like that which is way more than you
need, but it's so inexpensive anyway.  Put a 90 degree bend about 1/2
to 3/4" from one end and cut off the excess.  It's easier to heat it
with a torch first.  You now have a square "allen key" which will fit
perfectly into that drain plug.  Use the remainder of the key-stock to
make more of these for your other DeLorean friends.
