Do It 89002 Hammer Handle Wedge Kit

Product Description

The DO IT 89002 is a hammer handle wedge kit designed to secure loose or replaced handles on hammers and hatchets. The kit includes one wood wedge and two steel wedges, providing the combination of materials needed for a proper, tight fit in the handle eye. Sold as a single package, it is a straightforward repair solution used by carpenters, general contractors, and skilled tradespeople who rehandle striking tools in the field or shop. At 0.04 pounds, the kit is compact and easy to keep in a tool bag or parts bin.

This kit is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever hammer or hatchet handles need to be replaced or re-secured. The inclusion of both wood and steel wedges follows standard rehandling practice, where the wood wedge is driven first to spread the handle, followed by steel wedges set at opposing angles to lock the fit. A step-by-step diagram and rehandling instructions are included in the poly pack, making this appropriate for technicians or tradespeople performing occasional tool maintenance.

Installation Notes

Handle rehandling is a general carpentry and tool maintenance task appropriate for any qualified tradesperson. Before driving wedges, ensure the handle is fully seated in the tool head and trimmed flush or slightly proud at the top. Drive the wood wedge first along the grain, then set steel wedges at opposing angles across the eye for maximum holding force. Follow the included step-by-step diagram to complete the repair correctly.
