End links that don't require an Allen key

Title speaks to my question. Do they make end links for the mini that don't require that annoying Allen key? I know some cars have a simple nut and they bolt right on without the Allen key being necessary. Thoughts? Stripped the hex point on my rear failed end link and will have to have a shop grind and cut it off the car to install the new one.

I'm pretty sure some of the aftermarket ones don't....

Has standard allen tip, but also a collar that takes a metric (16?) wrench to hold it for tightening.

Thought about the WMW ones. May get em later but I did find replacement ones from a company called Deeza that include a spot to get a flat wrench into so that an allen key isn't needed that run $20 or so each. If I manage to get back into serious autocross and need to adjust the position of the end links in the rear sway bar these may be the way to go. For now I have a Moog unit that I am going to get installed as soon as I can get the old one cut off.
