they look like the 12 pt torx, most common are only 6 pt. The 12 pt are much harder to find.

Default Yup, those are definitely triple square driver bits. Good luck finding them locally
Like others in here have said, I had trouble finding them in car parts or even sears hardware stores.

I ordered mine from JCwhitney.<ul><li><a href="http://www.jcwhitney.com/product.jhtml?CATID=37059&amp;BQ=jcw2">Clicky</a></li></ul>
