Texas Twister - Lock Technology LTI by Milton

Specifications

The Lock Technology LTI Texas Twister, model LOC-LT855A, is engineered to transform a standard air hammer into a powerful pneumatic slide hammer. This versatile tool operates by leveraging the percussive force of an air hammer, delivering up to 3000 blows per minute for efficient pulling. It includes specific puller connectors with thread sizes such as 1/2-20 to 5/8 inch and 1/2-20 to 3/4 inch, facilitating connection to various slide hammer bits and pullers. A dedicated Vise Grip Adapter (LT855A-18) with a 7/16-14 thread allows for secure attachment of vise grips. The kit frequently comprises 34 pieces, featuring a 20-inch primary drive bar and extension for extended reach. This product is protected by Patent No. 7,036,211.
