Hello Chinook Fanciers,
We have had to do a number of repairs and modifications on our aging Chinook and find that many of the nuts, bolts, and screws on the rig require a special star shaped tool. The head of many of the fasteners on our rig are star shaped with 6 prongs. An allen wrench nor a Phillips head screw driver works on these heads. Does anyone know what this tool is called and/or where it might be obtained?

Jeep wranglers use them too. That link is just for small screws/bolts. They have ones in socket set form too.
