I use a 7/8" on mine, if that's what you're asking. Not sure what "out side" is. I'm not the best with names and classifications of tools.

You may want to take the keg with you- I have 7 kegs, with 3 different sized posts. Most are 7/8", but I have a couple that are 11/16", and one is a star!

I cant take it off with plyers or adjustable wrench, the black handles are in the way, I tried

Get 2 combination wrenches. 11/16 and 7/8 with both open and closed ends. I also have a rubber mallet for the really stuck ones.

Vice grips and hammer for me, some times when I get a new keg it is a real pain to get off.
I have this wrench. It does all the posts I've run across so far.

Noooooo......
I have found regular two headed combination wrenches work just fine for me - you need to use the closed end of the wrench, it will give you just enough "throw" - ie angle - to turn the plugs -works on hexagonal and 12 sided fittings too.
