Hex Wrench

Any info on a 5 sided "hex" bolt on skewer?

I just bought a used DMR Sidekick that has Intense Mag 30 rims with nice hubs but the front skewer is some anti-theft 5 sided hex bolt and in over ten years of cycling I've never seen such a creature.
I'd like to find where to get a wrench that works on it so I don't have to bung it up with vise-grips.
The only info I've found "googling" is on Wikipedia that says they are available.
Thanks for help.
It is not a normal 5mm allen wrench, that has six sides, hence "hex" wrench. What I am trying to find is a pentagonal wrench. Am guessing whatever brand of skewer it is comes with the wrench (duh, I know), so has anyone seen a skewer set like this?

Try an ebay search for "Tranz X" or "Tranz Z" Security Skewers. There are several sets on ebay.co.uk for very little money. It may be cheaper to buy a new set than to buy a tool specifically to work with them.
