I've purchased all kinds of bike tools but I had forgotten about this one.
I had my new wheel and forks installed and was finishing up by installing the handlebars and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the bolt threaded into the steerer tube.
It was because there was no star nut.
I did have a star nut from another set of forks so I thought that I'd just try to install it.
I was ten minutes away from my first test ride when I realized that there was no star nut.
I figured that if it didn't work, I could just install another one on top of it.
What I should have done is just forget about the star nut and put a threaded rod up through the steerer tube, and snug it up with nuts and huge fender washers at either end, while I torque down the steering stem bolts.

Now I can't even do that because I have a crooked star nut stuck in the way.
There is another version available but apparently it tends to get stuck on the fork tube and you're supposed to use a rubber mallet on it because it will dent and jam if you hit it with a real hammer,..

That's what I should have done.
I'm sure it would have worked better and I'd be riding my e-bike today.
