This Faithfull Hammer Wedges & Timber Wedge Kit (Size 5) is designed for DIYers and tradespeople needing to securely reattach hammer or axe heads to wooden handles. Its key benefit is providing a durable, safe, and reliable connection, ensuring the tool head remains firmly in place during use. A key caveat is that these wedges are not suitable for fiberglass handles.

These wedges are designed for use with hammers, axes, and other striking tools that have wooden handles and a slot at the top of the handle for securing the head.
No, these wedges are specifically designed for wooden handles and are not suitable for metal or fiberglass replacement handles.
Each kit contains two malleable steel wedges and one timber wedge.
'Size 5' indicates the specific dimensions of the wedges within the kit, which are suited for a particular range of tool head and handle sizes. The steel wedges are 18mm wide.
Proper fitting is crucial. Drive the steel wedges in first, then the timber wedge firmly into the gap between them. This expands the wood to create a tight, secure fit. Ensure no part of the head can move independently of the handle.
Ensure the steel wedges are positioned correctly and try tapping the timber wedge more firmly into the gap. If it's still too large, you may need to slightly shave down the timber wedge, but do so carefully to maintain its expansion capability.
Yes, the product information states they are suitable for axe heads of all weights, provided they are fitted to a wooden handle.
Ensure the wedges are driven in deeply and securely. Check if the wooden handle is sufficiently intact and not splintered at the top. If the handle is too damaged, it may need complete replacement.
Verify that the slot at the top of the wooden handle is clear and appropriately sized. You may need to carefully re-shape or widen the slot slightly. Do not force the wedges to the point of splitting the handle.
Wipe the steel wedges dry and store them in a dry environment. A light coating of oil can help prevent rust if storing for extended periods.
