The tool you are describing is know as a "slide hammer".

it up and out?
I'd imagine constructing a tool to hook onto the bottom of the seatpost
then come up and out of the frame so you have a part to hammer.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Stuck Seatpost Question
To: obra@list.obra.org

So I have a steel frame with a steel
seat post stuck in it. I did my research and tried all recommended
methods. I eventually hack sawed the top off and cut a slit in the seat
post and rolled part of it in on itself and it still wouldn't budge. At
that point I decided just to hammer it into the frame. Now my question
is it safe to use an old seat post to hammer the stuck seat post down
farther into the frame so that I can just put a new one on top of it?
The only thing I see wrong with that is added weight but maybe I'm
missing something...Any insight beyond my own teenage brain would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris Robinson
