Barrel nuts like these?
Mine don't look quite that nice. Think about a piece of steel rod, maybe 13mm in diameter and 3/4" long. Hex cutout in one end and the standard 8mm x 1.25 threaded hole in the other.
You can buy a 3/8" drive socket with the hex shaft already attached or make up one yourself by cutting the angle end off and using and 8mm socket.
(wish I was better at drawing...)
As for the ones with regular 13mm nuts, a ratcheting, flex wrench is worth it's weight in gold...
