Slide hammer

A slide hammer is a tool that attaches to an object needing to be pulled and transmits an impact force to the object without striking the object itself.

Slide hammers typically consist of a long metal shaft with an attachment point at one end, a heavy weight that can slide along the shaft, and a stop for the weight to impact on end opposite the attachment point.^[1]

Slide hammers can be attached to objects in multiple ways including screw threads, hooks, and others.^[2]

Slide hammers are typically used in automotive repair to pull dents, remove bearings or other parts, and when an object needs to be struck from an inaccessible side.^[3]
