12pt 8mm.
There were some very early ones which used a plain 6-sided Allen head.

Its for a 924S - I am told they are the same.
Is that 12.8mm you say ;-)
Thanks Jim
NO!!! LOL
12 points (sides/splines) and 8mm sizeJim
The proper name(If you need it..) is XZN/spline.

Thanks James
That one might fit - but it only has 6 teeth !
I just bought a 12 tooth set for 5.59 (Laser) and the 8mm bit fits a treat !
If it has six teeth it is a Torx, not the right tool.

I bought one from SnapOn many years ago and I don't want to remember what I paid for it...

If you blow the pic up, you can see at least 6, and thats on the side thats facing, there will be more round the back ! The hex description I guess is the drive

One of mine is from snap-on, I have had to replace it a few times good thing its free, but thats what you pay for up front. I like the 12 point 8mm L shaped one that is meant for removing the hub from some of VW's alloy rims, I have used one many times to remove the axle bolts.

Now, you see , I counted 4 visible and guessed two facing away.
If you see the 12 pt one you would see the difference.
I guess the 6 piont one engages on half the edges ?

doesn't look the same as mine though !
