How long is a slide hammer?

Slide hammers are available in overall lengths ranging from 4 to 46 inches, allowing the unit to fit into tight spots.

How do you use a slide hammer to remove a wheel bearing?

Attach the slide hammer to the wheel bearing, then yank the weight towards the handle to give an extra snap of weight to the stuck bearing while you pull on the T-handle. This transfers the force to the shaft, pulling the attached end and the wheel bearing in the desired direction. Repeat the action until the bearing is removed. For tougher projects, using a lubricant is advised.

What is a slide hammer puller set used for?

Raptor Supplies offers 8 & 10 way slide hammer puller sets from Westward for pulling or removing stubborn oil seals, bearings, harmonic balancers, bushings, axles, gears and other press-fitted parts.

What does a slide hammer dent puller set consist of?

Keysco Tools slide hammer dent puller sets feature a square slide hammer with a solid, 5/8 inch high carbon steel slide shaft that won't roll away out of reach. The set further includes a claw, short hook, deep hook, door edge tool, hook and chain, straight driver, nosepiece and threaded adapter.

What are the main types of pullers?

Two jaw and three jaw pullers: The most common types of pullers are available in either 3 jaw or 2 jaw configuration. 3 jaw pullers are the most widely used because the extra jaw helps distribute the force more evenly. But where access is limited, a 2 jaw puller can be used, provided it is used carefully.Mechanical pullers: They work by rotating a crossbar that moves the centre bolt / force screw towards the shaft.Hydraulic pullers: They include an integral hydraulic cylinder that is powered by a pump to apply the required force. The plunger then provides direct, non-twisting application of thrust, which is more effective and more secure.Internal pullers: Internal bearing pullers are used to remove shaft-mounted parts where no spindle support is available. They are used with an attached slide hammer which allows a high-impact force to be applied.

Heavy Duty Slide Hammers

Heavy-duty slide hammers are used to deliver a powerful impact to an object and remove bearings, gears, oil seals and other small parts from inaccessible areas. These slide hammers feature a long metal round shaft with a handle, at one end, and an attachment point on the other end, a heavy cylindrical weight that slides along the shaft and a stop that impacts the targeted end. Raptor Supplies offers a huge variety of these hammers from brands like Slide Sledge, Proto, Keysco Tools and Westward. The reversible jaw slide hammers from Proto feature puller jaws to handle both regular outside and inside pulling jobs. The slide hammer can also be removed and used independently to accomplish different pulling requirements. Slide Sledge multi-head slide hammers use linear motion to centre the power and deliver precision impact on surfaces, without worrying about misses and glancing blows.
