I use a vice grip to hold the swaged fitting on the shrouds from turning and use an adjustable open end wrench to turn the turnbuckles.

I use an 8" Cresent wrench on the flats above the threads to hold the shroud and a 6" Cresent set narrow so that one jaw fits in to turn the turnbuckle.  Every other year I disassemble them and wipe Lanocote on the threads.  Keeps 'em turnin nice and prevents galling.
