tool that removes the sump plug??

[BoomOne]

I see there is some sort of tool that i do not own that is needed to take off the sump plug for my 172. Is it some special thing or can i use a big ass allen key to get it loose?

any input will be rewarded with ltd edition noddy badges.. just jokes

This question seems to be popping up quite frequently

Its an 8mm square plug.
