Well I was in a rush and changed my oil and was going to install this valve when I realized none of my hex wrenches would fit! So I didn't have a crescent wrench with me either so I wound up refitting the OEM drain plug hoping to install the Fumoto in another 4 months when I next change my oil.

So, do you guys just use a crescent wrench? Is there a special tool that I was supposed to get? (looks like the valve port has a hex broached into it, but it didn't fit my tools). What torque is this supposed to be tightened to?
 
I don't even let my kids use a crescent wrench. I bought a nice set of combination wrenches. A crescent wrench is something you put in your car trunk for emergencies
