Nupla 24340 Stock Wedge 8.75 in Oal Carbon Steel

Product Description

The NUPLA 24340 is a stock wedge built for heavy-duty splitting and driving applications in the trades. It measures 8.75 inches overall length and 1.875 inches wide. The head is drop forged, heat treated, and tempered carbon steel, delivering the hardness and edge retention that demanding fieldwork requires. A mold-injected protective covering wraps a classic Nuplaglas fiberglass handle core, reducing vibration transfer and protecting the handle junction from abuse. This wedge is suited for use by laborers, utility crews, ironworkers, and general trades professionals who need a reliable, heavy wedge in the field or on the bench.

The 24340 stock wedge fits standard splitting, alignment, and driving tasks across construction, utility, and industrial maintenance settings. Its compact 8.75-inch overall length makes it manageable in tighter work areas while still delivering enough mass for effective driving. The drop-forged carbon steel head is designed to take repeated hammer blows without mushrooming prematurely. It is packaged individually and sold as a single unit.
