My Elgins all use a 3/8 x 24 TPI adjuster screw that has a square head on it. I've got a 9/32" socket in my set (came with the set) but it's hex not square. BUT you can turn it around and use the square drive side on the adjuster and put your 9/32" Allen wrench in the hex side.
Out of laziness and lack of decent tools...I use a Crescent wrench and fingers. It's even worked with rusted in tensioner screws with a little penetrating oil. No boogering at all.

Although a bit unusual, 8 point sockets are a thing. They are also made for square heads. Yes, I would rather have the Snap-On square socket posted earlier but cheaper things are available.
