Thanks for the tip.
Had the tool NOT slipped, you would have jammed the tool against the skewer so tight, you'd probably have to screw the lock ring back in a few clicks to release the skewer.
Leave the skewer 1/3 turn loose and try to initially back off the lock ring a LITTLE BIT.
Readjust the skewer & repeat. You'll get the idea once you do it.
