Description
Keep your tools battle-ready with this 6-Piece Hand-Forged Axe Wedge Set, designed for fitting axe and hammer heads securely to their wooden handles.
Each wedge is individually hand-forged from iron, ensuring superior durability compared to modern pressed wedges. The cross-cut textured grooves bite deep into the wood fibers as you hammer the wedge into the handle slot, expanding the haft inside the socket. This locks the head in place firmly thereby preventing wobbling, loosening, or slipping even under repeated heavy impact.
With six different sizes, you’ll always have the right wedge for the job, whether restoring a heritage broad axe, maintaining a carpenter’s hammer, or fitting a small axe for bush craft. Functional, authentic and reliable, these wedges are essential for both tool restoration and everyday use.
How to use:
-
Insert the wooden handle into the axe or hammer head, leaving the end slightly.
-
Select the wedge size that matches your slot.
-
Hammer the wedge firmly into place to expand the wood.
-
Trim excess wedge flush with the handle.
-
Optionally drive a second wedge for added security.
