DEAD BLOW SLIDE HAMMER

Abstract:

A dead blow slide hammer body with a through bore that receives and slides on a shaft. The hammer body includes one-or-more internal longitudinal cavities, lateral to the through bore, filled with a dampening material. When the hammer body sliding on the shaft strikes a slide stop, the dampening material creates a "dead blow" effect, increasing the duration of impact, while insulating a user from the shock.
