How to use

Ensure the hammer head is suitable for the handle by confirming the head weight falls within the 0.8–2 kg range and that the eye dimensions match or can be reamed to fit. Remove the old handle and clean the hammer head eye of debris and rust. Insert the narrow end of the wooden handle into the hammer head eye, tapping carefully to seat it fully. Secure the head with an appropriate wedge and trim any excess wood, then file and finish the area to prevent sharp edges. Inspect the fitted assembly for stability before use.

Usage recommendations

Use the handle with hammer heads of the specified weight range and check for proper fit and secure wedging before each use. Apply a light finish, oil or wax to the wooden shaft to prolong service life and perform regular inspections to detect any signs of looseness, splits or damage.
