OTC 7703 Basic Slide Hammer Assembly - 10 lb. Hammer

This purchase was made for one of those, "I hope I never have to use this..." moments. I would rather have this available in case my 5 pound slide hammer doesn't quite have what it takes. I have not used it yet, and hopefully won't have to for a very long time, but we'll see how it goes when that time comes. It does seem to be well made. It's a big piece of steel that slides back and forth on a rod. How complicated can that be?

This tool is great. Knock named "Black Betty" in my shop, is sometimes a get out of jail free card. Solid shank design won't bent or break like a lot of other large slide hammers. The only reason it doesn't get a 5 star rating is the little cross pin they is knurled fit in the end of the tool always falls out. I think that is a design flaw. I'd like to see it tack welded in place. Once I welded mine, I have been very happy with its performance.

I literally just recieved this yesterday and already have replaced rear axel bearings, front wheel hubs and pulled a dent out with ease. I'm not exaggerating when I say it makes it easier to work with and it's constructed well. The cost for more me was worth it alone, but I hope in the future they will offer an accessory kit with it

I used this slide hammer to remove the rear wheel bearings on a 14 year old pickup truck. I had previously tried a lighter slide hammer, but I wasn't able to get the bearings out. This slide hammer got the job done after about 4 or 5 blows. A heavier hammer makes a big difference!

LOVE THIS! I wish I bought one sooner. I bought this with the OTC 7508 and OEM tools 27058 to get out a stubborn CV shaft. I will honestly say it was the best money ever spent. It made the job that was taking 4 plus hours of fighting the weekend before, take only 2 minutes. 4 good whacks and it was off. Im glad I went with the 10 instead of the five.

I bought this slide hammer to remove a cv axle from a car that’s stuck and stubborn. I’ve also bought the rod and the adapter to go with a vise grip to do the job. I used it on the axle and it came off like it wasn’t stuck at all. Thanks for having the product it save me a lot of frustration.

This slide hammer is a beast , should bought it long ago , use it to remove a 4 wheel hub fwd vehicle so far with 2 strikes !!!!!! No like the 5lbs which takes lots of strikes and in some cases and up hammering out the hub with a socket !!!!!!!

great service from america.arrived in England 3 days from ordering,a garage totally wrecked all our wheel bearings, suspension wishbones, wheel sensors, and new driveshafts.so we decided to order this with the hammer extension and joint fork adaptor for next time.it's a sturdy piece of kit and the adaptor fits nicely on a ford Mondeo driveshaft.very happy with the purchase, and it was fun watching it travel from the USA to England,best delivery i have ever seen, and highly recommend this as a addition for the home mechanic.

Whenever i need to remove wheel hub-bearing assemblies, i always reach for this 10pds slide hammer. It’s the only way to defeat heavy rust and corrosion. The 5 pds hammer isn’t up to the task when dealing with older vehicles affected by road salt used in winter for de-icing roads. This 10 pds will be compatible with all kits available on the market.

Looks like a great hammer, and as expected it is hard to ship. It was packaged pretty well but even so, the little end handle evidently broke in half on the trip. Not a deal changer, I like the size and feel of the hammer and it still works. I tried to contact OTC but the link to product support misdirected me to an unrelated law firm. Then I spent a little time with a robot on Amazon and I sent in a request for help. Haven't heard back from them yet. I'm hoping they send me the little end handle, I don't want to return this beast. If I have to I can weld it together and repaint it, but it would be gracious if OTC would just send me the 3" handle. It will be easy to tap in a new one. A ten pound hammer will make all the difference, this tool looks great. Edit Feb 6 2021, still no word from OTC after my service request 6 weeks. Crappy customer support, it reflects badly on the company. Oh well....

This is a must have tool. So much better than my old 5 lb slide hammer. Wheel bearing removal is effortless. My only complaint is the price. Should be about half the price.

Used for a front wheel bearing job. The hub came out with just 5 slides. This is on a 10 year old car in the greater toronto area, where rust reigns.

Excellent tool , its my number 1 money maker in my home shop for removing hub bearings .The 10 pound hammer jack on help remove most bearing within the 3rd hit ...
