Abstract: A pull slide hammer for the removal of dowel pins includes a removable tip which may be exchanged with another tip. The entire locking structure is internally within a shaft of the slide hammer. The removable tip is threadably received within a cylindrical cavity of the shaft. A locking member and a bias member are interposed between the tip and an end wall of the cavity. The locking member includes an extension having a hexagonal cross section corresponding approximately to a locking bore in the removable tip. The locking member is urged towards the removable tip and selectively prevents rotation of the removable tip relative to the shaft. The tip is easily removed from the shaft upon removal of the extension from the locking bore in order to exchange the tip with another tip.
