THANKS! HAMMERMAN.

The Hammer Source has a wide variety of WOOD and FIBERGLASS replacement handles. Some handles are made for specific hammers or axes but any handle will fit your tool if the eye shape and eye size match.

Wood Handles:

1. MEASURE THE EYE SIZE of you hammer- The long (major) and width (minor).  
2. Next determine its shape- round, rectangular, oval or teardrop. 
3. Choose the length.
4. Handle dimensions should almost equal eye size. You may need to file or sand a wood handle to fit. You can always make it smaller. YOU CAN NOT MAKE IT BIGGER!
5. Pound the handle through the eye.
6. Trim off any excess handle protruding through the eye.
7. Wood handles come with a wood wedge which is driven into the kerf first.
8. The steel wedge is driven in at a 30 degree angle to the head (about 2 o'clock).

ALL FIBERGLASS HANDLES COME WITH EITHER A BK-12 OR BK-24 GLUE KIT- NO EXTRA CHARGE!

Fiberglass handles need to have about a 1/8" space around the handle to allow for the glue. Handles include a glue kit unless noted. 
To replace a fiberglass handle:

1. Tape the bottom of the hammer head with masking tape.
2. Mix the two part epoxy- THOUROGHLY.
3. Pour some epoxy into the head.
4. Place the handle into the head, and secure the handle to a jig.
5. Pour the rest of the epoxy around the handle.
6. DO NOT DISTURB FOR AT LEAST 24-48 HOURS, LONGER IF LESS THAN 70 DEGREES.

If you don't see what you need, send me an e-mail or call. But remember, I am going to ask you if you read this first and measured your eye size.
