How To Fix A Loose Head On Wooden Handled Hammers
Mike Graham, Edison, Ohio: "You can fix a loose head on any size wooden handled hammer using this simple, low-cost method."You simply apply JB Weld generously to the end of the handle and inside the head, then put the head back on the handle and reset the head. I first clean the handle thoroughly with sandpaper or steel wool. Likewise, I clean up the inside of the head with a small wire brush. In 24 hours, after the JB Weld sets, you've got a hammer that's as good as new.
"I've also used this repair on a couple of 4-lb. sledges I use to break up firewood. It's a permanent repair."
