Monaco basement door hinge screws?

Hi All, Does anyone know where I can buy an "8 point hex driver" to remove the screws that hold the hinge onto the swing out doors and frame on my 07 Diplomat?

I don't know the actual name of the tool so I called it a "hex driver",.. but it does have 8 points as opposed to 6 points like the one's I already own.

(I tried to attach a couple pictures but couldn't get them to attach.)
Thanks in advance!!

You might check but I think you're looking at a square drive - actually two square drives overlayed so it looks like an 8 point. I ran into this last year, went to Lowes only to be informed of the overplayed square drive

Thank You! I would have never thought of that! I have a whole set of 6 point and square drives, I'll give it a try on Monday.
Many Thanks!

I wouldn't have thought of it either.

Will have to tuck that away in my brain in case I run into that problem.

Most coaches use a square head screw. However a 8 point screw is called a star screw and a driver is available at most hardware stores.

The screw drivers are a #2 Robertson.
