Slide hammer reccomendations.

[I Love Grits]

So I'm looking for reccomendations for slide hammers- nothing too expensive (try and stay away from the Big 3). SK had a model for around 40 dollars, anyone have any input? It will be used for mainly rear end bearings etc.

Thanks in advance.

I have one from Harbor Freight. Haven't used it much, but a slide hammer to me isn't exactly a precision tool.

the one i use is homemade, slice of 2 inch bar stock and a slice of 3 inch bar stock (interchangeable for the size of the job) with hole in the middle, rod with one end threaded, made several tapped ends for it to accomodate different tips/bolts. works very nicely, i can adjust the weights with the bar stock and change the tips out as needed.

Unless you have all the attachments, you will need more than just the slidehammer. There are a bunch of sets out there for sale similiar to the one you can rent from Auto Zone.

Yea, I shoudl have made myself more clear. I was looking for the slide hammer and the attachments, not just the slide. Anyone have any reccomendations, or are they all about the same? I just dont want the attatchments to break.
