A straight-grained hickory replacement handle supplied with a suitable wedge. Prepared with a sanded and waxed finish to ease handling during repairs.
Comfortable grip - with a sanded and waxed finish
Sanding smooths the timber surface while waxing seals the grain, reducing roughness and helping resist moisture. The combination improves tactile feel and reduces the chance of splinters.
A smoother shaft makes longer repair or joinery sessions less tiring and reduces hand irritation. Better grip also aids control for precise striking.
Secure head attachment - with a supplied suitable wedge
A wooden or metal wedge is driven into the tapered eye to lock the head onto the shaft, creating mechanical pressure that prevents slippage. Supplied wedge matches the handle for immediate installation.
A reliable wedge means the head stays firmly seated after replacement, restoring the hammer to safe, workshop-ready use. No extra fasteners are required for standard repairs.
Durable repair solution - with straight-grained hickory construction
Straight-grained hickory offers consistent fibre alignment, which gives predictable strength and controlled flex under impact. The timber choice balances toughness with shock absorption.
A replacement shaft built from straight-grained hickory withstands regular striking and extends the working life of repaired hammers. Suitable for repeated workshop repairs where reliability matters.
