What are these called?

[Clio_fool]

Do these have a name? I've searched for star bits/ sockets but not found anything. Also is anyone has some could you look to see if they do 7mm one? I have a 6 and and 8 and guess what, neither fit the bolt!

Adding star brings up mostly Torx drivers. Fancy making a stupid bloody drive and not giving it a stupid name so people can find tools for it?
