ER40 collet chuck wrench

Here's a couple but wow they're expensive. Perhaps try asking AvE himself?



That first one is nice but the price....holy cow.
 
I wonder what effect there is on required torque if a ball bearing nut is used.
I've been researching that and have found that 80 lb/ft is recommended for ER32. Most manufacturers I found said 15% less than standard nuts. The problem is that torque wrenches and the matching drive end wrenches are expensive. I'm thinking about cutting off the spanner of a wrench and welding a 1/2" square socket to it. The measured distance between the center of the spanner wrench and the square socket must be accurate to calculate the actual torque setting required on the torque wrench. Then doing the math for the adapter length using my normal 1/2" drive torque wrench. I already have 5 torque wrenches 0 lb/in to 250 lb/ft I just can't justify another expensive setup.
