The tool was the only thing my dealer showed me with the car to make sure I knew where it was...

Right , I'll tell you I had a list of things to check, when I saw the car for the first time, my jaw dropped utterly speechless forgot about the list.

You guys just saved me $295... thanks!

The digital owners manual I have doesn't mention it (I just checked again), and there isn't one where there was on the 997 Turbo, so I figured I'd have to buy one. Any chance you've stumbled across a 600nm torque wrench?

In actuality my nickname is Rubba

Good choice !

Perhaps it happened to the engine replacement cars? I can't imagine the techs didn't have their own Tool, but you never know!

Oh - that's what I thought we were talking about. Is it the socket for the CL bolt removal? That came standard on my 997.2 GTS, for Heaven's sake.
