1. A slide hammer having a removable actuation element comprising:
a drive rod;
a connection element formed in a column shape and mounted on an end of the drive rod, the connection element including a locking groove defined on a first end of the connection element, a notch defined in the locking groove, wherein an arcuate diameter of the notch is smaller than the locking groove;
an actuation element including a fitting fringe formed on a first end of the actuation element and corresponding to the connection element, a cylindrical neck extending from the fitting fringe and having a diameter less than a diameter of the fitting fringe, and an engagement disc formed on the cylindrical neck and having a diameter more than the diameter of the cylindrical neck, wherein the diameter of the fitting fringe is equal to a diameter of the connection element; and
a slidable sleeve including a coupling space formed in an arc shape and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the fitting fringe of the actuation element and the diameter of the connection element, wherein the slidable sleeve is slid so that the coupling space abuts against the fitting fringe of the actuation element and the connection element, and the engagement disc of the actuation element is engaged in the locking groove of the connection element;
wherein the drive rod includes a stepped shoulder formed on the end of the drive rod, a guide section extending from the stepped shoulder, a first threaded section extending from an end of the guide section away from the stepped shoulder, and a resilient element fitted on the guide section and stopped by the stepped shoulder; a first threaded orifice formed on a second end of the connection element and screwing with the first threaded section of the drive rod, the slidable sleeve further includes an accommodation space defined opposite to the coupling space and corresponding to the drive rod, and a defining shoulder formed between the accommodation space and the coupling space, wherein the accommodation space is configured to receive the resilient element, and the resilient element abuts against the defining shoulder.
