Went to the day after Thanksgiving sale to buy a slide hammer to pull some rear axles. They had four different kinds of slide hammers and one was made for all purpose use. With all the attachments in it's own little metal tool box it was $39.95. It is fairly nice and does the job with no trouble. You just don't feel too bad about that price even thought it's a tool you rarely use. Probably almost as cheap as renting one in the long run!
