I also use the Bavarian wrench. It is mostly cast aluminum which I have broken before but I don't see that happening on a plastic cap tightened to 25 nM. It has a 17mm hex head which is the same size as my drain plug - so one socket to do both. A 1/2 square opening for a 1/2 inch ratchet wrench is way big for an oil plug wrench. If that is what the haznet has it is oversized and not as usefull. Everybody has a 3/8 ratchet but 1/2 is more rare (I have one but rarely use it).
