12mm hex - I know folks here don't always like Halfords, but they sell a 12mm hex that fits a standard socket set... http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_197931_langId_-1_categoryId_165469

Take care on refitting it: use your fingers to start it in the thread and only use the socket after it gets tight -- otherwise a real risk of stripping the thread. There's no seal or washer: the plug is slightly tapered. it only needs to be tight enough to keep oil in. If overtightened it can distort the sump pan, which is quite thin metal.
