A slap hammer tool and associated instrumentation to engage with the slap hammer tool are disclosed herein. In some examples, a slap hammer tool including an end adapted for engagement with a quick release connector of an instrument is provided. The instrument can be adapted to receive the distal end of the slap hammer for engagement, the engagement being provided through rotation of the slap hammer relative to the instrument. Once the slap hammer and instrument are engageably coupled, the slap hammer can be used to provide force and accompanying motion away from the instrument in the direction of the slap hammer instrument. Force can be provided by the slap hammer tool to a coupled instrument, for example, to move or extract the coupled instrument from placement on a surgical area.
