Hand Forged Steel Axe Wedge Set - 6 Piece Textured Wedges for Setting Axes and Hammers

Hand Forged Steel Axe Wedge Set - 6 Piece Textured Wedges for Setting Axes and Hammers

This 6-piece hand-forged steel axe wedge set is made to provide a durable and reliable solution for securing axe or hammer heads to wooden handles.

Unlike modern pressed metal wedges, these wedges are hand-forged from steel to ensure long-lasting strength and performance. The textured cross-cut design bites into the wood fibers as the wedge is driven into the handle groove, expanding the top of the handle securely within the tool head. This prevents wobbling, loosening, or accidental dislodging, even during high-impact use.

Each wedge comes in a different size, allowing you to select the perfect fit whether you're working with a small axe or a broad axe. From traditional woodworking and bushcraft to restoring historic tools and everyday workshop use, these wedges offer proven utility and an authentic look.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

1. Insert the handle into the axe or hammer head so that the end protrudes slightly from the top.

2. Choose the shim size that matches the width and depth of the groove.

3. Tap the wedge firmly into the slot to expand the wood and lock the head.

4. Trim the excess wedge flush with the handle.

5. 5. Optionally, add a cross wedge or a second wedge for added security.

PERFECT FOR:

• Traditional carpentry and cabinetmaking
• Maintenance of outdoor tools
• Restoration of traditional axes and hammers
• Collectors who build authentic exhibitions

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Store wedges in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
• Lightly lubricate before use to facilitate installation.
• Check the adjustment regularly if your tool is used a lot.
• Wipe clean with a dry cloth after handling ⭐.
