FAQs
Will this fit all pick axes?
It is designed for standard pick axe and mattock eyes; however, you should measure your tool head eye size to confirm compatibility before purchase.
How do I secure the head to the handle?
You should use a metal or wooden wedge specifically designed for tool handles to expand the wood within the eye of the pick axe.
Can I use this handle for a sledgehammer?
No, this handle is specifically designed for the eye shape and balance requirements of pick axes and mattocks.
Does the handle come with a wedge?
The handle is typically supplied as the shaft; verify your local packaging for included accessories or purchase a separate wedge if required.
How do I maintain the wood?
Keep the handle dry and occasionally apply a natural oil, such as boiled linseed oil, to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking.
Troubleshooting
Tool head feels loose
Drive the handle further into the eye and ensure the wedge is fully seated and secure.
Handle is difficult to insert
Lightly sand the tapered end of the handle until it makes a snug fit with the tool head eye.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, clear the old handle remnants from the tool head eye. Carefully seat the Faithfull handle into the head, ensuring the taper aligns properly. Use a wooden or metal wedge to lock the handle securely in place. Regularly inspect the handle for cracks or excessive wear, especially if it has been stored in varying moisture conditions. Store the tool in a dry, covered area to prevent wood rot, and apply a light coat of linseed oil periodically to maintain the wood's integrity.
