Would anyone be interested in this product??? A "bitch" pin extraction tool for an air hammer?
I've always made these out of old screwdrivers, but after getting tired of pounding away underneath I made one for an airhammer. Now I have a machinist that is going to make me one out of new stock versus a modded chisel.
The "bitch" pin, is the pin that holds the shift linkage to the tranny for those that aren't familiar. It basically presses itself in the hole in the linkage and can be a ***** to remove, especially on a car that's never been taken apart. What ends up happening is you pound and pound on it with a screwdriver for hours. With this tool an air hammer extracts them in seconds...will even shoot them to the ceiling if you don't watch... . It turns it from the bitch pin to the love pin.
Cost would probably be low, cause it's not really complicated. I know anyone can make them of course, but sometimes having a nice tool for the tool box versus something crude is nice...especially if it's fairly cheap.
Mounts into one of these...

I've made them out of ground down chisels, they last indefinitely. They are not under a large amount of abuse when used.
If you've never fought a bitch pin, then you've not done many cars. When those pins are in the car for 15-20 years...they don't come out easy.

I don't know how your comin up with that honestly. The piece is fully defined in a drawing based off of the dimension of the pin that I sent to the machinist. It'll push the pin out fully with .100" to spare. The tip also allows it to be reloaded and driven in entirely.
I'd probably think like 13-15 bucks would be good.

Don't know if any of you know this but snap-on already makes this tool your talking about. It goes into an air hammer and is the same size as the drift pin. It will also go all the way through. It works a hell of alot better then the one you hit with a hammer (I have both).

Re: (pgpbubble)
dude, grab a punch, grab an air hammer, hold the punch to the pin, and dont hammer your hand. easy as that. lol ive never found the need for anything more...although if i was feeling frisky i might get one off of the truck...
