Ok so I have now two bikes with totally fused seatposts those slide hammer vids look quite persuasive but decent ones are expensive, wonder who uses these things no hire places near me is it a car mechanic thing?

Yeah they use them for getting things like stuck drive shafts and things that need pulling out with a bit of wallop.
I have been on the look out for a heavy one, you’re right they are expensive although you could make one. It’s just a rod with a weight.
There are videos where people have made a frame that pulls the post out, they look pretty good and fairly simple to build if you have some suitable scrap steel floating around.

Can buy them easily enough. There’s a guy on YouTube who had success using one.
