Looks like an 8mm allen bolt

Re:

Those are Gonzo Mudslinger Skewers:



They came with a specific ratcheting tool to fit and remove them. This was designed to be an anti theft mechanism and is not an 8mm hex unfortunately.

That ratchet tool is a common 1\4" drive unit. So just the right size bit required.

Re:

It was a specific tool with the bit built in that came with the skewers, I've owned a couple of sets in the past. I'm sure the correct bit can be sourced somewhere, it's octagonal.

That's just a very lightly modified std tool. I have 4 variants of it, some have a through hex hole, some have 1\4 drive male on one side and hex socket on the other. Some are very basic in finish and some a little bit better finished off.

Re:

I realise it is similar to the standard tool you mention. The ‘bit’ is not removable from the ones that came with the skewers, it’s built in and a threaded shift passes through the middle and tightens via a knurled knob on the rear into a threaded hole drilled into the bottom of the head of the bolt.
