Do It 302871 Boy Scout Axe Handle 14 Inches

Product Description

The DO IT 302871 is a 14-inch replacement axe handle designed for use on 1-1/4-pound boy scout-style axes. Turned from wood and sized to fit a specific eye opening of 1-11/16 inches by 5/8 inches, this handle provides a direct OEM-style fit without modification. The kit includes one wood wedge and one steel wedge to secure the head after installation, giving installers everything needed to complete the re-handle in a single package. At 0.53 pounds, the handle is lightweight and sized for one-handed use typical of small camp axes.

This handle is suited for light-duty camp axes, trail tools, and scout-pattern hatchets that accept a 1-1/4-pound head. It is a common replacement part for field and forestry supply operations, hardware stores, and facilities maintenance programs that service hand tools. Installation requires standard woodworking hand tools and is a straightforward task for any maintenance technician or knowledgeable end user.

Installation Notes

Remove the old handle by driving it out from the eye or cutting it flush before pressing the new handle through. Seat the axe head fully on the handle before driving the wood wedge, then the steel wedge, to lock the head in place. Ensure wedges are fully seated and the head is secure before use. Follow applicable hand-tool safety guidelines when working with striking tools.
