FAQs

How do I choose the correct wedge size?

Inspect the existing wedge (if present) for size. If there is no existing wedge, measure the hammer handle's opening and select a wedge that fits snugly. The kit includes various sizes to assist with this.

Can I use these wedges on any hammer?

These wedges are designed for wooden-handled hammers. They may not be suitable for hammers with different handle materials.

What if I insert the wedge and it splits the handle?

If the handle splits, the damage is likely too severe. You may need to replace the hammer handle. Be careful when inserting the wedge and don't force it.

What tools do I need to install the wedges?

You typically need a hammer or mallet to drive the wedges into the handle.

Are the wedges reusable?

Yes, if they are not damaged during removal or installation. However, the lifespan depends on usage and the condition of the handle.

How do I remove an old wedge?

Use a punch or screwdriver and hammer to remove the old wedge. Be careful not to damage the handle.

How should I store the spare wedges?

Store the spare wedges in a dry place to prevent them from moisture and damage.

Troubleshooting

Hammer head is still loose after installing a wedge.

Try a larger wedge or add an additional wedge to secure the head. Ensure the handle is not damaged beyond repair.

Wedge is difficult to insert.

Use a bit of lubrication (like soap) on the wedge. Make sure the handle is not blocked.
