bascially you push down on the spring retainer and the magnectic tool inside sucks the collects up....

(only gay thing is its snap and its a pig ear to order)

Dependant on if its 8v or 16v that sealey one will be good enough, just use a magnetic tipped screwdriver to remove the collets.

If its 16v you will need one with a deeper throat or one which is adjustable both sides.

Had no experience of one of the snap on type, im using a modified sykes and pickavant for 16v.

Pretty sure halfords sell them.
