Wrench

I have Shimano 600 brakes on my vintage bike . When work on them I have to hold a multi point nut ( I hold that nut and tighten the recess nut ) a 14mm open end wrench works ok , my question is , is there a specific wrench for this nut ?
Thanks .

Hey thanks guys , the obw-3 is the wrench I have been using . I love those Park cone wrenches . I think it would be really cool if there was set of pliers that had jaws that matched the nut . Thanks again .
