New tool I invented

Post by HLAV1 »

So when I kept running into the issue to remove ball joints or tie rod ends with no air and not having a full size pickle fork I invented this. I never owned regular pickle forks, all of mine are for an air hammer and I know I am not the only one that is in this situation. So I came up with a way to mount the air hammer forks or any other air hammer bit in this handle. The chuck on it is a quick release from an air hammer so it even holds the Snap On non turning bits correctly. I chucked up an old semi kingpin in a lathe and spun in down to size and I fit the chuck over it. I then drilled and rounded off the internal to hold the bits and I drilled the three holes on the perimeter to hold the chuck in place. I added non slip sticky grip tape to it and it works perfect, I have hit it with a drilling hammer and sledge.

I have yet to find a bit that this did not work with.

I like it!!! Should transfer the energy from the sledge well!
I have a set that can be used either way, air or sledge, by changing drive end. A bit light at times!!

I have seen those where the fork end can screw on different things, but you are limited to just the several pickle forks, this can any air hammer bit.
