The Faithfull Pick Axe Handle is an essential replacement tool designed for professional landscapers, builders, and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable handle for standard pick axes or mattocks. Engineered for durability and safety, this handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip for heavy-duty digging and ground-breaking tasks, though users should ensure they are comfortable with the process of fitting a traditional wooden handle before installation.

It is designed to fit standard pick axe and mattock eyes. However, because different manufacturers have slight variations, you may need to file or shave the handle slightly for a perfect fit.
The handle is 915mm (36 inches) long.
No, the handle is supplied as a single unit and does not include wedges.
Yes, it comes with a protective waxed finish to prevent moisture ingress and improve comfort.
It is manufactured to BS 3823 BW/BR British Standard specifications.
Ensure the wedge is driven fully into the top of the handle to expand the wood against the eye walls. If the gap persists, replace the wedge.
Lightly sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper and re-apply a wood treatment oil or wax to seal the fibers.
To install, ensure the eye of your pick axe or mattock is free from debris or old handle fragments. The handle may require slight shaving of the shoulder to achieve a custom friction fit. Once seated, use a metal or wooden wedge to expand the end of the handle to lock the head in place securely.
For care, store the tool in a dry area to prevent the wood from absorbing excess moisture or becoming excessively brittle. Periodically applying a light coat of linseed oil can help keep the wood fibers supple and prevent cracking over many years of service.
