    See pic it's end of rad. I thought an ordinary screwdriver would turn this to bleed it.. I tried a couple of screwdrivers it was very tight .. I have it damaged now.

    Is there a plumbers tool that I can get that will fit fully over it square allowing me to turn it ... Without having to use a screwdriver ??

    If such a tool exists what is it called..
    Thanks

    Paddy
