Thanks Frank for giving me the assurance that I could beat on it harder; that’s what it required as it didn’t come out easy. The tide turned when I went from using the 1/4″ threaded rods shown below as my beater medium to the socket extension / impact driver socket adapter arrangement. I also used a 5/16″ stainless bolt for threading into the bushing and the stainless was probably necessary.
BTW, I went from last night being irritated with myself for not getting off my wallet and buying the tool to this morning being happy that I didn’t as I’m in agreement with you that the tool would have went through with as hard as I was beating it. Thanks again.
