Plumbing – What tool to tighten this nut

plumbingtools

enter image description hereThis is on a valve for a fancy walk in tub. The nut tightens it against the top of the tub to hold it in place.

But I have no idea what this kind of nut is called, nor what tool to use to properly tighten it. I can get it kind of tight using vice grips, normal wrenches, and hammering it with a flat head screwdriver.

Some of them are about 2 inches in diameter, others 2.5-3 inches.

But surely there is a proper tool for this? What's it called?

For slotted collet nuts I use either an adjustable or slotted spanner wrench.
