Not a fan of important info in title unless it is repeated in the text. I typically skim the title.

I believe we have a male drain plug that identifies as female.

OP is looking for a female 12mm square socket to remove his male drain plug.

Most of us would use an open end 12mm wrench for this or a bigger Crescent. But he is not a fan of these options.

Now that we've identified the gender, 12 mm 12 point socket should work.

This is the situation where I would use an adjustable wrench. Just tighten the jaw up and keep your thumb on the thumb wheel so it doesn't loosen off while turning. The reasoning is that an adjustable wrench has wider jaws than a flat wrench and is less likely to round off the corners.

That being said I have also made my own female sockets. In your case I would with a chop saw cut a U shaped 12mm square slot in the side of a half inch thick piece of steel. You then weld a flat piece across the hole of the U and you have a 12 mm female socket once it's welded to a spare regular socket.

8-pt 1/2-inch socket will work fine
