ok this is driving me insane....I am looking for one of those allen wrenches that come with the mopar cross rails. The only difference is that the inside is hollow (there is a hole in the middle)
I just broke the only one I had and dont know what they are called to order one............

please help!!!!!

hahaha did you just change your post from spline to star driver in 2 seconds.....
anyways its not one of those...Its a regular allen wrench but the inside is empty

If there is a little raise dot inside the area then it is either a tamper proof allen key or possibly a tamper proof torx (star driver)

They are called tamper resistant, and Grainger carrys them.

36 pieces for 8 bucks and you got em cause you broke one. How long to you expect the new ones to last?

hahaha well I realy abused the one i had. I am going to be gentle with these new ones and use them to just remove my roof basket if i ever
ps: the 36 pieces are differnt bits like hex, torx and all other good stuff with different sizes
