Slide Sledge - video

[Frank S]

Lol, Ms.Greene.
Good ad's like that disappeared with VW auto humor in the 70's. Some see fit it's past due for a return.
Their video was not much fun, and won't impress the actual mechanics. Buyers, supervisors and safety managers, probably. Especially the dramatized clumsy sledge and drift sequence.

In the video showing the guy with the slide hammer OK ,ok sliding sledge hammer if that is what they want tot call it. Anyway holding the thing above his head sliding it in an out to remove the pin All I can say is yeah right! How much impact force can this guy even hope to accomplish? Probably not a whole lot more than a 4 lb shop hammer but ast least with a 4 lb shop hammer and someone holding a pin knocker on a long handle will develops at least a moderate amount of impact.
I don't know how much that sliding device weighs but if the anvil or slide is less than 12 to 15 lbs for most pins of any size it would not be of much help. I can see where it could be of a great advantage for removing the rubber filled split keepers on the bucket teeth though with the screw on attachment. The position those things are located in and being packed with crushed rocks makes them a string of profanity to remove
