I may be one of the last ones to come across this idea because some people
I've told about say they have been doing it for years, but it was new to me
so for you other cave dwellers; weld a 1/2" or bigger rod at least a foot
long on the frame of your vise grip pliers facing exactly 180 degrees from
the jaw centerline. weld a stop on the end of the rod and add a sliding
weight to use as a slide hammer. It works great for pulling stubborn dowel
pins and many other parts. Exept for the blood blisters you may get from
pinching your hand in the slide action, you will thank me!

It's new to me & I like it. Except that it ties up a vise grip for this
purpose. Before doing that I'd try welding a nut to the inside of the
handle so I could thread a rod on when I needed to pull a pin & remove
it afterward.

I talked to a guy that attached the puller end to the adj. knurled knob and
even though the pull angle was not quite right, it worked until he damaged
the adj threads.
