I have never heard it called a slap hammer.
It's another name for a slide hammer used in body and fender shops.

And the answer is:
That's exactly what I thought it was! I was just waiting to see is someone else knew.
A blind hole puller commonly used to pull Pilot bearings
When I purchased the tool I knew what it was
I didn't know its history.

Nope not even close, a nail puller is longer and the slide hammer is longer and usually square with the corners rounded, the jaws are only about 1/4"wide and shaped like hooks one of which has a shoe about 3" long on it so you can get leverage to pull the nail. I have made many a blister on my hand using of of the damned things!!!!
I have a weed puller that works on the exact same principle.

Please tell me how the outer left portion of the tool attaches to the inside blind end lip of the pilot bearing/bushing? There are several easier ways of getting a pilot bushing out than using something as complicated as this. Ever heard of threading the center of the bushing, screwing a bolt in that has been drilled through it's center and has a grease fitting in it. Do that and pump the grease gun and you have on pilot bushing in hand very quickly.
As long as we are talking about pilot engines do you know that many crate GM SB 350's come with a pilot bushing in the crank even if you order it for an automatic. Interesting problems if you don't notice it.

I have a modern version. Maybe 30 years old. So very similar.

Well Ron
I'M really trying to understand your description of how you remove bearings, but it eludes me.
Going from < left to right>1: tool handle,2: the shaft with the slide hammer, 3: the puller
Using this tool you can remove a bearing in 30 sec or less.
You put the small end into the bearing, then turn the wingbolt to expand the puller then you slide the hammer toward the handle rapidly and bingo the bearing is out.
In my estimation you are not a very good mechanic or you would have seen this from the start.
Now I have used the method you tried to describe, when a puller was not available, all we did was pack the grease into the bore then put a trans. input shaft into the pilot hole and smack it with a hammer and the grease would push the bearing / bushing out. Besides being messy it didn't always work, and very occasionally the puller would not work either. Also I haven't seen a pilot BUSHING in an engine made after 1952 +/- a couple years.
As far as SBC and engines from other mfg. crate engines coming with bearing installed: Not all did and if the engine was going in a car with an automatic you had remove the bearing so the torque converter hub would fit into the crankshaft.

Bob I probably 3-4 four different types of blind hole pullers in my tool box, I bought this one because of its uniqueness, I have never seen one made quite like this.
