Bits get stuck in PC trimmer collets, too. A few good whacks, er.. I meant
~gentle taps~, on the collet nut with the wrench oughta do it. If not,
remove the collet with the stuck bit, drill a 5/32" hole through a piece of
oak, insert the end of the bit in the hole, and tap the bit out from the
back of the collet with a drift pin punch.

I find tapping on the bit itself with the collet wrench will loosen a
sticky bit. Make sure you are tapping on the bit body and not the
carbide edge.
