Great video! Thanks for making this! WATL should compensate you for doing a tutorial that they haven't bothered to make themselves! Seems a little silly for them to sell replacement handles & not at least make a basic video detailing HOW to replace the handles. It's not a hard task to complete & it ain't rocket science, but there are a few things an amateur could do that could totally ruin their new handle or make their replacement not stay solid. I went to a vocational high school for welding, so I'm intimately familiar with just how much work can be involved in "undoing bad/wrong" work 😂
If the handle begins to get loose the regular wedges are easier to drive deeper and tighten it up again. Tap the axe head further down, drive the wedge a bit more, good to go!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the great video.
Why do you prefer the regular wedges over circular? Do you think it affects the longevity either way?
