Abstract
A tool has an elongated body having an outer surface, a first recess formed at a first axial position along the outer surface, and a second recess formed at a second axial position along the outer surface. The tool also includes a gripping element that has a plurality of collets at a gripping portion of the gripping element and a retention end. A retention mechanism axially retains the retention end of the gripping element within an axial length along the body to allow the plurality of collets to overlap with the first axial position and the second axial position of the body.
