Steel wedge for handle fastening GEKO G72216, 3 mm thickness, supplied in a pack of 10 pieces. Designed to secure wooden or composite tool handles in tool heads such as hammers, axes and various garden tools, this wedge provides a compact mechanical lock that reduces handle loosening during use. The steel construction offers strength and durability for routine repairs, replacements and maintenance of hand tools.

Advantages

The wedge's 3 mm thickness and precision-cut profile ensure a tight fit in pre-drilled slots, improving contact between handle and tool head and minimizing play. Supplied in a pack of 10, it allows multiple repairs or spare parts storage for workshop and household needs. Steel material resists deformation under impact loads and holds its shape during insertion, providing stable fastening across repeated use.

How to use

Insert the wedge into the slot or pre-drilled hole in the tool head aligned with the handle tenon. Tap the wedge gently with a hammer until it seats firmly and the handle is tightened in the head. If necessary, trim any protruding portion of the wedge to achieve flush alignment with the handle and tool head. For replacement, remove the old wedge by driving it out and clean the slot before installing the new wedge to ensure a proper fit.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, check that the slot size and handle tenon match the wedge dimensions; use appropriate eye protection and gloves when driving the wedge to avoid flying debris and hand injuries. For outdoor tools exposed to moisture, consider applying a light protective coating or choosing stainless fasteners if corrosion resistance is critical.
