  • Slide hammer assembly
    Patent number: 12350801
    Abstract: A slide hammer assembly for driving a stake into ground without a hand held hammer includes a stake that has a tapered end to facilitate the tapered end to penetrate ground. A lower pipe has a receiver that is distally positioned with respect to a striking head and the receiver insertably receives the stake. An upper pipe is concentrically disposed on the lower pipe such that the upper pipe is slidable upwardly and downwardly along the lower pipe. The upper pipe has a hammering head which strikes the striking head on the lower pipe when the upper pipe is urged downwardly on the lower pipe thereby facilitating the stake to be driven into the ground.
