I lied about my nails... I actually lost the card and can't turn it over... ironically... when I was "skipping singing tip toe through the tulips"
Were you wearing a sundress too?

@Caballus - STOP IT - I just wasted 5 minutes on the Seinfeld... now I'm gonna waste another 4 on this one... I'm trying to be productive here!
Productive? Your here bragging about a purse, getting your nails done, and singing and skipping, how is this productive? :D

Apparently you you have never "just run out for a quick errand" with your wife... Fairly certain above sentence defines "productive"... :like:

I like to disassemble things.
Instructions for Caliperfexion brake studs said in there somewhere "12 point 9/16" star drive socket" - so I was thinking "this is something special"...
To be clear, the instructions merely say you need a 12 point 9/16" socket, nowhere ever is there any mention of it being "star drive." There is more surface area on a 12 point fastener head than a typical hex and it is the way to go on fasteners used in automotive performance hardware, aircraft, etc. The additional points of engagement also allow more socket clocking choice such that you can engage the mesh between the fastener and socket in more ways than a hex socket.

I have a pretty solid collection of tools... but where the #3ll do you find this unicorn?
I have a bunch of eTorx - they are not 12 point... I have spline drive - which will work but will probably grove up the nut... Weird AF choice of a nut IMHO... so - where does one find the correct socket for this thing?

And do not tell me vise grips - I will yell at you if you do that...
Lowe’s has them. I just picked up one in their loose sockets bin.
