I snapped a couple of them myself. What finally worked for me was a short section of 1/2" round steel rod (Home Depot) heated to white hot with a map gas/butane torch and inserting it into the chuck. After letting it set a couple of minutes I repeated the process and then quickly used the removal tool. Worked like a charm for me.
I hear you. I figure I've got a 50/50 chance. No Musclechuck ordered until I successfully get it off. ( I just can't believe my luck, a $40 increase on the exact day I decide I'll just use the Carvetight.) I need a lot of upgrades I Would just like to see the machine pay for them instead of me. Maybe I can get some more orders before Christmas.
Yes, I have a MC in reserve. Have not used it yet.
Will likely be a Xmas or Black Friday SALE that will lower the price back down to the pre raise price so watch for it....
Good Luck,
AL
Thanks for all your input guys! I successfully got my qc off today. So I'm going to order a muscle chuck Monday.
So did that tool I sent you work out ok? Did you use a hot iron up inside the QC like Al suggested?
Glad that worked out for you and you're welcome. If you see anyone else needing that tool, pass it along, thats what makes this group so great.
