FAQs

What type of wood is used for this handle?

The handle is crafted from straight-grained, FSC® 100% Certified American Hickory.

Does this handle come with wedges?

No, this handle replacement does not include wooden or steel wedges. These must be purchased separately.

What standard does this handle meet?

It is manufactured to BS 3823 BW/BR British Standard specification.

How do I ensure a safe fit?

A safe fit is achieved by using correctly sized wooden and steel wedges and ensuring they are firmly secured to lock the handle into the hammer head.

Can I use this handle with any hammer head?

This handle is designed for Faithfull ball pein hammer heads. It is crucial to ensure the handle's eye dimensions match the hammer head socket for a proper fit.

What does FSC® 100% Certified mean?

How should I care for the handle?

Keep the handle clean and dry. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity. Periodically check wedge tightness.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose in the hammer head

Re-wedge the handle using appropriate wooden and steel wedges. Ensure they are hammered in securely to expand the handle within the socket.

Splintering or cracking of the wood

Inspect the handle for damage. If significant, it should be replaced immediately for safety. Avoid exposing the handle to excessive moisture or dryness, which can cause wood to swell or shrink.

Difficulty fitting wedges

Ensure the wedge slot is clear of debris. Use the correct size wedges for the handle and head. Gentle tapping may be required to seat the wedges properly.
