There is this odd key for screwing. Anyone knows where to get it?
Thank you

Mine are just Security Torx. Any hardware store will have the tools, either as a set of bits (that go into a screwdriver with exchangeable bits), or actual individual screwdrivers.

Not exactly sure what size, but they are usually sold in a set anyway.

Just confirm they look like this. If they do not have the pin in the middle, then they are just normal Torx (non security)

Or you can buy the original Rola tools here:

Mine is red, like the one below but is not Allen key like this one:

Mine is the same tool shape as this one, just a different handle colour:

Should be available in a big kit of tips from your local hardware shoppe or try a roof rack shop for the single tool. :)
