Abstract
Apparatus is provided for surrounding engagement with an associated truck collet to accommodate a plurality of collet sizes wherein a central H-shaped yoke pivotally mounts a first and second leg downwardly therefrom wherein each leg includes an inner and outer edge where the inner edge includes a first pair of aligned arcuate recesses of a first diameter wherein outer edges of the legs includes arcuate recesses of a second smaller diameter to accommodate chucks of varying diametrical configurations. A collet key member is rotatably mounted through the yoke and includes a first and second bevel gear at each end of the collet key with a handle selectively positionable adjacent each bevel gear to effect rotation of each bevel gear relative to an associated chuck or collet member.
