Yup, I had one (traded it to mjb, though).

Yup, it works really well and seems to be very well made.

Probably.  It takes a fair bit of force to get the hubs
off, so you'll want to use a large bolt to get enough
strength in the threads.  The TSSC remover uses a cup-
shaped piece of steel to fit over the end of the axle
to prevent it from getting mushroomed during removal.
You might want to make up something similar.

good luck,
