The small ones are great for pulling oil seals.

Hi AWB,

I have a completely different tool which might also be called a slide hammer. It is a steel shaft about 18" long and 3/8" in diameter inside a steel sleeve about 1/4" shorter. The shaft has a weight/handle at one end. It's used to pound nails in locations where there's no way to get a swing with a hammer. I use it so infrequently that I sometimes forget that I have it, and deal with the problem using one of the methods I came up with during the 20 years before I saw that tool and bought it.

All the best, Stan

Hi Stan in Oly. You have what we called a "pea shooter." I have one that we used inside of concrete forms to avoid the re-bar. That's what the iron workers that made them called them. Some were fancy and had a tube piggybacked on the drive tube so you could feed a nail in without removing the driver (or tool) from the tight location.

I have more than several. Two are dedicated to my Auto Body Restoration Hobby but the most unique one ,I think, is the Tool I made with a slide Hammer and a Nail Pincer. I welded the bottom Shaft part of the Slide Hammer to one of the Handles of a Nail Pincer{cut off tool]. I used to use it to remove the Lead and Neo Headed Nails from Steel Shed Siding and Roofing. Carefully grasp the head of the nail and use the slide action to remove the nail. Works very well and damage to the Metal panel is not noticeable if done properly.

Invaluable in auto body work. If there's a dent you need removed, but can't get behind, you can tack weld a tab in the dent, then put a clamp on the tab and use a slide hammer to pop the dent out. Then after it's served its purpose, grind the tab back off.

Very useful tool in certain situations, but also very dangerous if not use properly and safely. Easy to injure fingers if not used with the utmost of care, and gloves.

Along with the hook jaw pullers for bearings, shafts, etc, and the axle flange puller, there is a U shaped adapter that hooks behind CV joints at the transaxle and pops them out. They are usually stuck by an expanding snap ring and need a good jolt to pop them loose.

I agree that most slide hammers are real finger busters.... But my OTC slide hammer is designed to make it almost impossible to mash or pinch a finger..

Captive sliding weight on a rod with an arrangement on one end for pullers, clamps, vise grips, etc, to fasten onto (for instance) a bearing on a shaft where you can't get a hammer or bar behind it.
Consider it a reverse hammer.

I have a pair of vise grips that I use with my puller.
