Really dumb question.

Does anyone know what those autobody slide hammers are called that weld themselves to the sheetmetal with those pin stud deals. I thinks its called like a fitzenagle or some strange german word. Im not sure, anyone know what im talking about?

 

Not sure of the name but The Eastwood Company sells them.

 

website?

 

Stud gun, and buy a quality one. One of the guys in the shop bought one from horable freight. Aint worth ****. I guess the gun is ok, but the slide hammer dosent grip the studs right.

 

hmm

I worked with collision repair a while ago and we had something similar, but it was a triangular copperthing at the and of the slidehammer that welded directly to the metal, you just pulled a couple of times then twisted it and it came loose, was less work then a stud welder and worked better!
Ill try to find a pic or more info!

 

i have had my uni spotter deluxe for about 10yrs and going strong.

Search around for different pricing cause I paid a lot less (different brand, but too lazy to go look right now). I believe this is the type of tool Crankshaft was talking about too. If you own this tool, you will throw your pin gun away.
