That would be my invention...! I used 2x6
glad it worked for you. Key is in trying all sorts of penetrating oil, but AlO2 is largely undissolvable I guess. I also place the sacrificial saddle under two boards once cracked to hold the seat as I lift and twist up.
Second key is making sure the plane of the twist is perfectly perpendicular to the seat tube, or you can torque the seattube.
I am 3 for 3 so far with the tool.

Happy Holidays!
