The Faithfull Pick Handle 915mm is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, robust replacement for damaged or worn-out pick axe or mattock handles. Its primary benefit is the restoration of tool functionality with a focus on safety and ergonomics, though users should ensure their existing tool head has a standard eye size before purchase to guarantee a proper fit.

It is designed for standard pick axe and mattock eyes; however, you should measure your tool head eye size to confirm compatibility before purchase.
You should use a metal or wooden wedge specifically designed for tool handles to expand the wood within the eye of the pick axe.
No, this handle is specifically designed for the eye shape and balance requirements of pick axes and mattocks.
The handle is typically supplied as the shaft; verify your local packaging for included accessories or purchase a separate wedge if required.
Keep the handle dry and occasionally apply a natural oil, such as boiled linseed oil, to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking.
Drive the handle further into the eye and ensure the wedge is fully seated and secure.
Lightly sand the tapered end of the handle until it makes a snug fit with the tool head eye.
To install, clear the old handle remnants from the tool head eye. Carefully seat the Faithfull handle into the head, ensuring the taper aligns properly. Use a wooden or metal wedge to lock the handle securely in place. Regularly inspect the handle for cracks or excessive wear, especially if it has been stored in varying moisture conditions. Store the tool in a dry, covered area to prevent wood rot, and apply a light coat of linseed oil periodically to maintain the wood's integrity.
