Hammer handles

Storing the hammer in inappropriate conditions, or intensive work with it can lead to breakdown of its handle. In such situation you don’t have to replace the whole tool. You can buy hammer handles separately – they are sold at a rather low price, which allows to save money.

Types

These elements differ from one another by weight and length. As a rule, the latter parameter is directly proportional to the hammer head weight.

Also the components differ by the material they are made of. The most widespread changeable handles are made of wood or glass fibre. Well-processed wooden tools are pleasant to touch, it is comfortable to hold them in hands even at low ambient temperatures, they are rather cheap. At the same time they are demanding in terms of the storage conditions: they should be protected from moisture and temperature changes. Otherwise the components can get deformed, cracked, decayed. Low-quality or damaged wooden handles may have sharp edges which may injure the skin of the hands.

Products made of glass fibre are usually more expensive, but at the same time they have high durability, small weight, and high resistance to negative environmental effects.

Tips on hammer handles use

1. If you perform a work that requires high accuracy, hold the handle not far from the hammer head. And if you need to strike heavily, hold it closer to its end.
2. Don’t store tools in wet rooms.
3. If water got on the wooden product, then dry it as soon as possible.
