English term or phrase: allen key
This is a special L-shaped screwdriver used for barrel bolts. You can look at a picture here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_wrench. It is also known as the "hex key" because the hole in the barrel nut is hexadonal. Any fans of IKEA furniture will be familiar with it.
