I didn't think I said what size in the video...the Collet/vice was 3/4". I checked and I was holding the clamp with a 21mm although 13/16" also fits.... I think the actual dimension on the clamp is 20mm though...as 21mm has play in it... Better solution might be adjustable wrench on it.

I use the Astro Pneumatic 78585 and MAC sells it too (rebranded I think), BUT it's great... No issues. Solid quality and good adapter coverage. I did a review of it here: Hope this helps! -Jim

Here is the video I shot using the tool for my 1998 Jeep TJ. It works, but is expensive and in some cases the collet slips off of the lug. It does work though! NO rim damage!! Anyway, I hope this helps someone out with getting a spun lug stud and nut off their hub! -Jim

This is a great run down on fixtures and bulbs... Getting ready to build a 30x40 garage and this will be invaluable research! -Jim

Looking to do something similar... Of course I have to build the garage first! 30x40 for "Jeep" rebuilds.

Well, it worked fine. Is a little expensive and the only change I would suggest is that the "sized" collets or "clamps" are fluted to the lug size. They are round and really do not grab that well. On a few higher torque twists with the drill, it spun the collet off of the lug as there is no...

I spun the stud in one of my wheels and the lug and stud now spin freely...also probably destroyed the hole in the axle hub where the splines are seated. So, I am going to try to use this to both hold the lug and drill out the center. I do think you could rig something up to do the same thing...

Hello fellow Garage people! Glad to have found this tool forum. I work on Jeeps of all kinds and I found this link from the Jeep Forum. Glad to be here and look forward to learning and sharing! -Jim
