Expansion Puller Adapter
Friday, August 4th, 2006
Having the right tool for the job is always the best way to go, right? So we guess the second best way to go is an adapter for the tool you already have. Thus, the best way to pull a expansion plug is with a plug puller kit, but if you, like us, are short a puller kit, then a expansion puller adapter for your slide hammer is an acceptable alternative.
The adapter screws to the end of a slide hammer on one end and connects to the plug in queston with the other – a handy solution for those of you needing to remove that subborn holdout.
They’re widely available on the web for around $24, and are a great way to expand your capabilities without leaving your wallet too thin.

One of our best friends likes to tell the story about how he borrowed money to buy his first set of professional hand tools — the ones he used to make his living for a number of years after that.

Now, S-K’s expanding into the pneumatic industry with a new set of “Pro-Gun” impact guns and wrenches.
SK Hand Tools has signed on to sponsor one of our favorite build shows — Biker BUild Off — starting this fall. The winning shop for each shows competion will roll away with a bunch of sweet SK tools.
