I have a new lawn mower. According to the instructions I need to change
the oil before using the mower again (the instructions say to change the
oil after the first 5 hours of operation, which is about how long it ran
mowing the whole yard twice, which is what I've done with it up to
now). The drain plug is in the form of a screw with a square-shaped
recess in the outer end. I know that the tool used on such a screw with
a hexagonal recess is sometimes referred to as an "Allen" wrench. Does
anyone know what the proper name is for a tool that fits a screw or bolt
with a square-shaped recess in the head, so I know what to look/ask for?

Ronn--
Not me. I tend to confidently go into the store
and say that I "need something like a hex key but
for a square hole". My sense is that the terminology
is not very standardized, anyway.
It could be that the driver for a socket set, or the
right sized flat-bladed screwdriver would to the job...
