I just use a standard 3/4 drive hex socket with a 3/4 to 1/2 inch reducer. Offhand can't remember size but it's around 34mm. Measure across flats to check size.

This is the one I use too, with a 1/2" drive extension bar.

I use a 36mm socket myself but the set you showed us would be fine if it has a 36mm in it. It would be useful for other things as well.
