Anyone own or maybe used this slide hammer before?

[Strouty]

I am looking for a heavy duty slide hammer and this looks like a nice setup. I am sure it is made overseas but was hoping someone may have used one before. Amazon has no reviews yet.

My dad has had one for years, it has always been in our garage, it has been used heavily for collision repair. I intend to get one before I become a body technician.

I don't own one, but I typed SG tool aid slide hammer in google and saw newer photos. If I'm seeing what you're actually buying on google, and not on that old illustration on Amazon, it's not that great. Looks like the same OEM as the most common parts store dent puller. I played with it's 5 lb slide hammer cousin one time at a liquidation sale, and it seemed alright.

Bottom line -- if I'm correct it'd probably get the job done, but there are many better options.

Does it have to be a 10 lb unit?

Yes

I found an older one on ebay, it appears to be the same as a mac?

That does look like a decent one, I am doing my research now. I will be purchasing in the next month or so.

Mac is similar, but not the same. I would take the tool-aid over that Mac

The Morgan stuff is top notch as they actually make it so parts and accesories are not a problem, I also would suggest getting the version that has the tough girl weight on it to be completely un PC in todays world.

I LOVE It! That is awesome, can't believe it in this stupid PC world, can't let anybody get their feelings hurt. Of course, it's part of the "69" Morgan Nokker kit!
