I needed a new handle for a cooper's hammer head that was my grandfather's. It 's a small hammer with a 9 inch handle and a flat eye. the 11" handle for small Ball Pein hammers was the closest I could find anywhere. The eye was good but the handle was way too big for my 8 yr old grandson and much bigger than the original. I cut off the extra length and sanded it down to match the shape and size of the original. Assembly was a piece of cake. My grandson now has a beautiful heirloom. Thanks Beaver-Tooth.
