easy install great balance real nice handle
The octagon handles are excellent. One of those great old ideas that has all but disappeared. I've always found it less fatiguing over the long haul. Somehow the octagon shape is easier to grip, Wish some of the modern hammers would try that shape.
But I wish there was more material left on the head. There is a lot of variation in the eyes of old hammers. And unfortunately mine is a bit larger than the octagon handle so I'm going to have to do some creative wedging.
I would recommend two perpendicular wood cross wedges. Cut slots for them. I would put them in first then you have to score them to put in the large wood wedge.
The octagonal handle is great. Gave life to an old hammer I had lying around. It’s now my favorite. Thanks!
The octagon handles were just what I was looking for.
They were just what i wanted and beautiful.
