Just grab 3 - one you think is right, then the size up and the size down

By laying your cheek against the item and banging your head with a mallet, you can get impressions for larger items such as radiator cap sizes.

So the size reference does not go quickly away, heat it up with a torch, place your thumb on it and you will have a longer lasting impression, like I did with a car cigarette lighter when I was a kid.

This is exactly what I do when I'm measuring brake pads and I can't see it because of how the caliper and bracket are set up but I can at least put a finger on it. Lol

Interesting! I'm sure at some point i'll probably end up trying this. But, for years now, whenever I deal with Torx fasteners I ALWAYS try one size larger, just to see if it fits. Been lots of times I felt like I had the right one, but then found out the next bigger one actually fit.
The way torx fasteners / bit feels is different then most other fasteners / tools, it can be misleading.
And using one size too small on a torx fastener lots of times strips out the fastener in a way its hard to fix (rounds off most of the sharp edges, doesn't leave much to grab onto).
I SUSPECT (just personal guess here), that a bunch of the frustration of dealing with torx fasteners comes from this issue (besides just needing to have that many more tools in the toolbox, and the fact that there are some standards out there which look like torx but are actually slightly different.... or having torx fasteners put in with red / permanent loctite, and not knowing that beforehand...)

I don't know about that one, but I do have a tattoo on my forehand of the 10mm socket with teardrops pouring out of it...

I used to try to do this when working on oddball HVAC equipment that doesn't use the standard 1/4" or 5/16" hardware, but the imprint would never last long enough to get to my tools to match it up, so I just started guessing and found out that I can guess with about 95% accuracy
