- Reviewed in Canada on October 25, 2024Verified PurchaseOver the many years I’ve been a technician, OTC proved themselves and this slide hammer set is no exception. Buy with confidence.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 3, 2017Verified PurchaseCame in well packaged 2 days before expected date. great Tool, with all the attachments, well crafted and of good quality. used it the first time to pull a front bearing, took 13 slides to pull the bearing out, not hard at all. Downfall is the front bearing attachment holes are somewhat spread apart too far (for my VW Jetta hub holes) and when bolting your bolt is hitting the centre core of the attachment so the bolt cant be tighten down all the way, but if you tighten them evenly there will be enough pressure on the attachment to secure it solidly to the hub. Overall great tool for the money and will be a great addition to my tool crib.
PS: it even has a nut with a bolt thread that will fit in a vise-grip so you can use it to fasten the vise grip on whatever you need pulled out and slam away.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 19, 2023Verified PurchaseReceived the item quickly and I put it to work instantly. I bought this to replace my 20+ year old one that broke. Hoping this one lasts 20 plus years as well.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 4, 2023Verified PurchaseAs required, as described and on time!
- Reviewed in Canada on November 7, 2022Verified PurchaseRemoved a stubborn hub with the slide hammer and used the 3 jaw puller. Worked very well, seems like a quality tool. Lots of attachments for different applications
- Reviewed in Canada on July 5, 2017Verified PurchaseReasonable price, came with lots of problem solving bits. A threaded insert that was included saved my bacon when my old wheel bearing broke up while removing, leaving the bearing and hub mount still attached. The threaded insert was a close enough thread I could use it in the old bolt holes to shimmy/hammer the rest of the hub off.
Could only be better if it came with "push" tools as well, then it would really be a universal tool any garage should have.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 19, 2022Verified PurchaseI had the same product for many years, its exactly what i was looking for. Very happy with this product.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 16, 2021Verified PurchaseI had to borrow this tool before deciding to buy one. There's a lot of uses for this tool by itself, before considering the array of attachments that can be used with it from OTC and various other brands. Must have for any professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, very complete set!
Verified PurchaseBeing a former auto tech, OTC products are a go-to for me. The company makes great quality tools that work great and outlast many big-name competitors at a fraction of the price!
I recently had to replace rear wheel seals and bearings on an 1985 land cruiser and this was an invaluable asset.
The fit and finish of the tool is perfect, the steel is stout (not cheap chinesium alloy) and it's straight forward & easy to use. This kit has everything you'll need for 95% of jobs requiring a slide hammer.
The only thing I don't like is I purchased this same kit back in 2018 for about $100.⁰⁰, it was painful getting the same exact item for 2x the price (my previous kit was stolen :(
You can't go wrong with this one, buy with confidence

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as Described
Verified PurchaseI purchased this to replace a front wheel bearing assembly (all one unit) on a '16 Subaru Impreza. After trying to work out the assembly from the steering knuckle with a dead blow, rust penetrant, torch, and 2' pry bar for several hours without much success, I relented and bought this tool. All I have to say is 'Wow'! I was concerned about the 5lb weight not being sufficient due to my struggle but all it took was about 10 blows and the hub ripped straight out of the bearing assembly. Bear in mind that I am an average sized adult male with average strength. In my case, the assembly was still rusted to the knuckle so I attached this straight onto the assembly in hopes that it would do the job. I was initially very concerned that I was SOL with an assembly that refused to loosen given the above but this tool ripped the assembly clean from the knuckle in ~10 blows as well. The mating surface between the knuckle and the assembly was rusted so heavily that I had to hammer the new assembly in. Yet, this thing got it out with relative ease. I can't speak for larger vehicles but this thing saved my rear end in a pinch. As the saying goes - you don't need a tool until you need it!
As an aside, the kit comes with a host of different pullers to attach so its usefulness should extend well beyond hubs and bearing assemblies (see pics). OTC is generally a high-quality tool maker and the 4579 is no exception. If you need a slide hammer (or you're an avid shade tree mechanic), I would definitely recommend this kit. The case is fairly rugged as one would expect with each attachment in the kit fitting snugly in the case. My only gripe is that there appear to be three small nuts without a proper storage location so they tend to rattle around when carrying the case. That is my only gripe. That and my inability to stop saying 'Dat slide hamma'.
Naturally, the tool's effectiveness will depend on the use/application but in my case, I wish I had purchased this sooner so my car didn't have to stay on jackstands for several days! Well worth it if you need (or anticipate) needing it! Yes, similar devices can be had from Harbor Freight for cheaper but IMHO, if you're going to be slamming metal components with all your strength, you might as well get a quality tool. Don't forget your eye protection and molybdenum grease to protect those threads. Happy slamming!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great slide hammer
Verified PurchaseYay! I finally got to use my slide hammer. I've had this tool for a few months but never had the need to use it until recently when I was replacing a wheel bearing on a friend's Toyota Sienna minivan. One firm pull on this slide hammer and the hub bearing assembly came out with no problems.
I'm not a professional mechanic, but I like to pretend I am. So that means I work on my own cars as well as friends. That also means I buy tools that may not get used very often (like this slide hammer and my cotton-candy tri-flex twin-tipped crescent spanner gauge). I'm a firm believer that having the right tool for the job can mean the difference between a pleasant wrench turning experience or not being able to complete a project and slipping into deep depression and swearing off working on cars for the rest of your life. This slide hammer is one of those tools.
It comes with all sorts of attachments and adapters and gizmos and thing-a-bobs to pull all sorts of stubborn things that don't want to move. It's got enough heft on the slide to turn non-moving things into moving things. Grab this tool, sit back, and enjoy a legendary battle against an unstoppable force and an immovable object.
For a guy like me, this is all the slide hammer I need. There are some other kits out there that have a lot more attachments that also have more dollar signs attached to them. If you're familiar with slide hammers, then you'll probably recognize the attachments: two wheel hub adapters (a tall and stubby), a screw for pulling dents from fenders, a small "claw" that can be used to pull against the edge of things, a three-jaw puller, a two-jaw puller and a vice-grip adapter.
As infrequently as I'll be using it, this one fits the bill nicely. I did enough research and reading of other people's reviews (some who ARE real mechanics) to learn that OTC is a trusted name when it comes to tools, so I'm happy with my purchase.
Everything fits nicely in the case and helps keep all those bits and pieces from getting lost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Victory could be Yours
Verified PurchaseWhen I was three, I told my mother that I would grow up to be someone special.
For years, I practiced lifting weights and jumping off chairs while spinning to prove my worth to the leaders of the monastery. By the time I was 15, sensei Oogway knew I was ready. Solemnly, he delivered an OTC 4579 9-Way Slide Hammer Puller Set to my utility bench.
When I opened the box, spirits jumped out and infused my right arm. I knew I could conquer the WORLD. I immediately knocked out every bearing I could find. My mowing deck, my vehicles, my neighbors vehicles, my tractors, my robotic dogs. Nothing could get in my way. Nothing would have a bearing ever again.
On October 15th, I faced the neighborhood gang member at dawn. She thought she could win with her bare knuckles, but I came prepared with my OTC 4579 9-Way Slide Hammer Puller Set. I attached the claws and whipped that 5 pound weight harder than a teenager in the morning. Victory was mine. Her bearings came right out. She wept, discovering that she was free.
Weeks passed. The seasons changed. The power of the OTC 4579 9-Way Slide Hammer Puller Set never waned. My countrymen were safe.
Has the world benefited from my conjoined power? Although impossible to quantify, the pile of bearings is a testament of righteousness.
As I near the end of my long journey, the chrome shine of the OTC 4579 9-Way Slide Hammer Puller Set still comforts me in the night, reminding me of the greatest moments of my fighting career. I look at it before I sleep, and it gazes back in all its 9-Ways.
We both know. And we feel good about it.
We both know.
(The hub attachments didn't span the lugs on all hubs, I needed to use that cone attachment on the back side of the bearing for the big boys)
