Abstract
A collet extends from a first to second end. A hoop section proximate the first end and has a continuous cylindrical interior surface that extends to an intermediate location between the first and second end. First and second legs each extend from the intermediate location. The first and second legs are spaced apart from each other. A holding section is located proximate the second end which has by a flange that extends radially inward from an exterior surface of the and terminates at a clamping surface.
