Slide Hammer Screws Onto Multiple Tools
“I made a multi-purpose slide hammer that I use with several different attachments including a locking pliers to pull nails, a long reach chisel, a small post driver, and a hammer,” says Robert Stone, Seymour, Mo.
  The slide hammer consists of a long steel rod with a threaded bolt at one end and a hexagon-shaped, 2-in. long internal coupler at the other end. To fit the locking pliers to the slide hammer, Stone simply threads the bolt into a large nut that he welded to the side of the pliers.
  “The slide hammer provides an added jolt of pulling power that really makes a difference,” says Stone. “I modified the jaws so the pliers work better for pulling roof nails. I used a file to make a small indent in the liner, which I use to grasp the shaft of the nail. However, I can still use the pliers to pull cotter pins, oil seals, dowel pins, and other items.”
  The other 3 tools are all fitted with a threaded bolt at one end, which fits into the coupler on the slide hammer. The post driver is 1 ft. long and has a large metal ring welded onto it, which Stone uses to pull out small fiberglass fence posts. The hammer was made by welding the head of a railroad spike onto one end of a steel rod.
