Default Air hammer chisel for the b!tch pin!

I don't know if anyone else has seen this before, but this looks like a great tool to have around if you have air tools. I just found this yesterday and will probably pick one up, even though it cost more than my air hammer itself.

It's an air hammer chisel made specifically for removing and installing the spring pin (aka b!tch pin) on Civics and Integras with solid shift linkages. This should make things MUCH easier when working underneath a car on jack stands with little or no room to swing a hammer.

if used a tool similar to this on my air hammer, it is really easy to get to and use, just sometimes i set the hammer to high and i shoot the pin right off, good to use if u have a air hammer, if not, the trusty ole vice grip and 10mm bolt with a heavy hammer can still do wonders

I normally use a 7mm allen head 3/8 drive socket with a short extension (so I can hold it) and bang that with a hammer, but it's really hard on my shoulder when I'm trying to swing the hammer while laying on my back or side underneath the car. It's also pretty hard to get it started again to re-install it. The stepped end on this chisel should make it really easy at it fits up inside the spring pin so you can hold it in place to get it started.

yeah, I got one off the matco tool truck a few months ago

works good, just be careful not to get it too much of an angle when you are doing it under the car or the top part of the tool (small part that fits through the spring pin) will break off. It is lifetime warranty thou
