Description
Overview:
Hammer Wedges, Sizes 1-4, are steel wedges supplied in an assorted pack of 20 for securing hammer heads to wooden shafts. Driven into the end grain at the top of the handle, each wedge expands the timber inside the hammer eye to lock the head in place and stop it working loose. Suitable for everyday claw hammers, ball pein hammers and similar hand tools used on site or in the workshop. Durable steel construction offers reliable bite and long service life. Easy to fit with a light hammer tap, they are a straightforward fix for loose handles and routine tool maintenance. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 110 174.
