Draper 10942 Hickory Hammer Shaft for Claw

Arrived quickly and included wedge to secure head to handle. Fit well without any need to whittle bits off. Seems of good quality.

Fixed broken handle on claw hammer excellently

The Draper Hickory hammer shafts were free of defects and with a bit of shaping were fitted to the hammer heads (8 & 10oz cross pein heads) perfectly. As purely a personal opinion, I roughly trim the head of the shaft down to create a very tight interference fit on the head of each hammer, then sand down the shafts to remove any coatings before soaking them in linseed oil for about a week prior to fitting them in the head of each hammer. After each shaft has been driven in to the hammer head, drill a number of shallow pilot holes in the shaft for the wedge, before again soaking in linseed oil for a few days and only then driving the securing wedge in...that way they last for years.

It’s a hammer shaft. What do you want me to review. It works. Ffs.

Feels nice as shaft is fitted on head, I ordered wedges as well but it comes with a wedge so they were not needed but it's always nice to have a spare just in case, saves buying a new lump hammer and as it was over 45 years old it has a lot of lumping memories.

Very good quality

Really good product and reputable brand. The supplier did exactly as promised and delivered promptly and securely. Here is the wisdom, Draper do hammer handles particular to the type not one size fits all. So, is it a claw hammer handle that you need? If not search again it is on Amazon.

It's nice to have an old tool restored to life! Having fettled the shaft head until it fitted I also had to shape a piece of hard wood to fill it up the whole length of the shaft hole as the head would just have come loose again. Don't know if there's a shaft with a more oblong head?

Buono
