That is a 12 pound post maul.

I have one here in the trailer along with a spoke shave.  I have a couple
more in storage.

Several people have done that but there is a chance of screwing up the small
needle valve ends.  One option would be to shape a small glob of JB Weld on
the head then hog out the plastic to fit but I don't like jury rigging when
the correct approach is available.

It is a small serrated head.  I have Torx and other types with me but none
are this type.  Now that I have the driver I can see just how different they
are.  It is a deliberate attempt by the EPA to keep so called unqualified
people from messing with the adjustments.  It ends up being just one more
way for someone else to tell me how to live.
