Do It 89004 Axe Handle Wedge Kit Wood Steel

Product Description

The DO IT 89004 is a replacement wedge kit designed to reseat or re-handle a loose or damaged axe head. The kit includes one wood wedge and two steel wedges, providing everything needed to secure an axe head firmly to its handle. Packaged in a poly bag with re-handling instructions and a step-by-step diagram, this kit is suited for professional tradespeople, groundskeeping crews, arborists, and maintenance technicians who rely on axes and hatchets as working tools. Proper wedge installation restores the mechanical connection between the head and the handle, reducing the risk of head separation during use.

This wedge set is used in the field or shop when an axe handle is replaced or when an existing handle has loosened over time. The combination of one wood wedge and two steel wedges follows standard re-handling practice: the wood wedge expands the handle kerf longitudinally, and the steel wedges lock the fit transversely. Included printed instructions make the process accessible even for those re-handling an axe for the first time.

Installation Notes

Re-handling an axe should be performed by a qualified tradesperson or maintenance professional following the included instructions. Ensure the handle kerf is properly aligned before driving the wood wedge, and seat steel wedges at opposing angles to prevent back-out. Inspect the completed installation for any movement between head and handle before returning the tool to service. Follow all applicable worksite tool safety guidelines during the re-handling process.
