EDIT - bit successfully removed - End Edit
I have an 18V Hitachi impact driver that has been a flawless performer for me for a few years (or is it a Metabo? I bought it in the transition...).
I also have a set of Bosch driver bits that include a few 'double ended' choices (I neglected to get a pic). I needed a square drive (Canadians know them by their real name - Robertson) and that driver bit was what I had, so I used it. It's actually not the first time I had used it, and I did not have trouble before. However now that driver bit is stuck in the tool.
I can pull the collar up on the 'collet', but the driver bit does not release.
Any tricks out there for removing said bit?
