I just used Larrys tool for the first time tonight and it rocks!! Worked awesome for me. I only wish the stud provided was a tad longer. Other than that no complaints.

I just double checked and can't imaging the stud needing to be longer. I had plenty of thread sticking out past the nut on mine. Maybe your head is tapped deeper than most. You can just screw the stud in only 2 diameters verses all the way to bottom out and it will hold fine.
