Hey Astro Tools - I must have a pneumatic slide hammer!

[Lt CHEG]

Seriously, what an awesome idea! I just saw Clay’s video tour of your booth at SEMA, and now I must have the pneumatic slide hammer. When do you think it might be available? Also how about the new air hammer tools with the proprietary steel? Are they available yet? I’m thinking about picking up one of your new Thor air hammer’s after today‘s TTC video, and would also want to up my chisel/ punch/ bit game. Thanks!

I saw the same video, I'm thinking it would be useful to have.

Sort of like the Texas Twister. IIRC the Texas Twisters werent that great. Wonder how hard this new hammer will hit

Well at least it won't be having to turn a 180 to direct the force, looks to go straight back

Yeah. It looks like its going to be a lot better concept. Still wondering just how hard it will hit. If the slide hammers coming out, its usually cause something is DAMN stuck.

So everybody knows.

Astro's making people rethink giving up their compressors!

 

[LXCam]

That’s pretty slick. I’d like to see how hard it can hit though. I’m sure Chris will show us some comprehensive test at some point.

I envision the Torque Test Channel developing a test jig to compare slide hammers in the future

Same as the air hammer rig but pull the wedge through from the far side...

Screw that cute puller, I need those swivel impacts and Thor air hammer bits!

 

[NYBODYMAN]

Definitely putting the pneumatic slide hammer on my want list!

The swivel impacts, in 1/2 and 3/8, for the wheel bearing bolts and caliper bolts. Just the form factor would be nice to use on a torque wrench.

Any reviews out on these products yet? I’m interested in the pneumatic slide hammer and the 3/8” drive extension sockets for sure!!! That’s cool the mentioned garage journal in the video!!

I've had the 3/8 extension sockets in my cart for a while, been very happy with them. Usually running them on an M12 stubby, although I do use them by hand sometimes.

I’d be running them on my m12 stubby as welll!! Gets old loosing sockets after fishing them threw on a wobble extension!! Seems like a good alternative to save some agrevation!!

It's a nice convenience vs stacking things. The body of the swivel is pretty compact, more compact than the 3/8 impact swivel adapter I use. I've used them a few times on a 3/8-1/2 adapter, but that's not something I'd do often as it may blow the 3/8 drive female area apart.

I'm hoping they come out with a 13mm-22mm set in 1/2.

We dont even have the item published on our website yet, so it's not including all the specs there yet

I have almost zero use for a pneumatic slide hammer, so why do I want it so bad?

Same. I would use it maybe once a year.

I’m absolutely getting one.

ALMOST zero is good enough reason for a new tool!

 

[GeoBruin]

Pulled the trigger (heh) from Summit.

Buy tool first, find use later

 

[mreisner]

I literally needed one of them yesterday getting some pulleys off of a fertilizer spreader. Ordered one this morning from JDTco. He doesn't haven't listed yet but he is 12 bucks cheaper and free shipping. Supposed to ship by the end of the month.
