I need a few adapters, we have some at work, but they have no brand, and I am having trouble finding some of my own.

The adapter would thread on to the end of a slide hammer (5/8-18), and then have a male end to thread in to a bolt hole. In my case, I need 5/16'' and 3/8'' coarse thread.

Where can I find these? I have been searching on the internet and cant find them.

Like these, all over eBay?

FWIW, I've fabricated them:

1. Some 5/8-18 coupling nuts, 5/16" and 3/8" allen bolts and a welder.

2. A friend with a lathe.

No, those are for vise grips. They have the *** on the end. I like the idea of welding them, but I know they exist as a product, so I would like to find them.

Wrong. That's the available-everywhere "OTC 6627 3 Piece Set - These adapters mate with any 5/8”-18 UNF threaded slide hammer."

Wrong. Those have the 5/8-18 internal thread for a slide hammer.

They fit on a slide hammer, but are designed to fit in place of the adjusting screw of a pair of vise grips. Again, what the little *** is for.

I have a set of them.

McMaster Carr sells adapter fittings in damn near every size.

Last set I bought I needed 5/16 course thread on the male end, but they only sold that in 5/8 coarse thread female end. I had to just retap to fine thread to fit the slide hammer.

You're best off just buying a pile of 5/8 fine thread heavy hex nuts from the hardware store, and welding bolts to them as needed to fabricate adapters.

What category are they in, I can't find them.

If you have a heavy truck shop that makes spring U bolts nearby, they have the nuts that have the longer lenght and come in black steel so they work nicer for welding.

I bought an OTC 8007 adapter a couple months ago to use a Kent-Moore puller with my common slide hammer. I'd go SO if you have truck svc.

We have a dowel pin puller set at work, and use a variety of socket head cap screws with the socket head cut off. This way you can fubar the threads on the bolt and for less than a buck you have a new threaded insert.

Works great for standard and metric, coarse and fine threads, lots of variety.

Decided to just make some up as some suggested. Did a quick fusion weld between a 5/8" nut and the applicable bolt. Came out real nice actually. Considering the Snap On ones were $40/piece.
