haha yes! It isn't clear how to release the stud from the tool.
For anyone curious, the tool tightens onto the stud when the impact gun is reversing the stud out. So, to get the tool to loosen off the stud, you need to get a pipe wrench or locking hand vice and hold the outer shell in place. Then you need to put the impact gun into clockwise (righty-tighty) mode and spin the tool enough to get it to release the stud. Of course, it feels counterintuitive to loosen the tool off the removed stud by putting the impact gun in clockwise mode, but that's what you gotta do.
