Draper Hickory Claw Hammer Shaft and Wedge

The Draper Hickory Claw Hammer Shaft and Wedge is a replacement handle designed for restoring and extending the life of 450g (16oz) claw hammers. Crafted from straight grained hickory, this 330mm shaft offers the traditional strength and shock absorption properties that make hickory the preferred material for hammer handles across the construction and carpentry trades. The shaft arrives sanded and waxed to provide a smooth, comfortable grip whilst enhancing the natural durability of the timber. This finish helps prevent moisture absorption and splintering during regular use, making it ideal for professional tradespeople who rely on their tools daily. Supplied complete with a size No.1 wedge, this replacement shaft provides everything needed to securely fit a hammer head. The straight grain construction ensures consistent strength throughout the handle, reducing the risk of breakage during demanding applications such as demolition work, formwork assembly, or general carpentry tasks.
