I am not familiar with it. Did they use those funny screws with the star or hex pattern and little nipple in the center? If so, you can buy the bits at a specialty fastener store and probably on-line if you can figure out what it is called. Here in Austin, we have Austin Bolt Company and American Bolt Company which pretty much carry every fastener and fastener related tool known to man.
