The way the guy started to put it in his hammer holder before realizing he isn't wearing it is something that is indicative of an experienced carpenter. I have done that a million times!
what time?

I’ve found your channel extremely helpful as I’ve been doing more projects on the farm I work at. I’m pretty new to these things but all the tips and tricks you share have been great. Thanks!
Each of these earlier vids are a delight tooo .... someday you should republish these again so new subs get a chance to see them if they don't go back in time to check out themselves. Hope you guys are having a stellar week!!
Dude that was satisfying!! To watch those are amazing I'm saving up for mine.
“Handled it” like a BOSS !
Just got this hammer and a replacement handle for future but cant wait to use and test the titanium out.
I like this video, I’ve been swinging Vaughn for 17 years. Had a Tb2 got it stolen. This video is why I’m in my way to pick up a wood handle stiletto
😂🤙🏻
Great video thank you !
Ey thanks for making this video. I’m about to do this exact same thing with my lumpy hammer.
Cool...I learned something new today!
That was way cooler than I expected. Hammer smithing
Dip the portion of the wood that goes in the head in linseed oil before driving the wood wedge. Linseed oil will swell the wood like water does but it will harden instead of evaporating.
Cool tip... thanks. Have actually never heard that one before
I remember my dad using Linseed oil, just as you described, on the wood when replacing the head of the hammer when the handles broke. Thank you for bringing back memories of him.🙏🏻
In the northwest with axe handles and sledgehammers we use a dremel to remove a 1/4" of wood from the top of thehandle once seated, with wood wedges, and fill that with catalyzed fiberglass resin or liquid latex to seal the end. Handle does not swell and dry in wet conditions, removing the tendency for them to loosen over time.
Stain first then linseed oil that's the way to go. Just my thinking.
I've never heard that before. I'll try that. Did anyone mention to always look for the wood grain going with the hammer head on a hammer handle? Not across as it will break much quicker if it is. My great uncle taught me that when I was real little.
Best video on UA-cam.
great video as allways
Got mine for free from boss man because he upgraded to a ti bone 3 and it needs a new handle bad so thanks for the tutorial 👌🏻
Beaver Tooth Handle Co. in Tennessee makes great hickory california framer axe shaped handles.
Clean fix
Thank you guys for the video. Have me a better idea on how to do it.
I found a 14 oz stiletto in the trash pile on one of my jobs just put it together last night:) didn’t have stiletto handle so hopefully this one holds if not I’ll buy one online.:)
You stumbled onto some expensive trash! 😂
Thank you so much!!!!
pretty sweet 5/16th hex drive punch u got there
Great job, bringing that hammer back to life.
Charles Jackson III Still going strong brother
Hey guys, I use a little bit of sub floor glue to it helps.
Just watched the video. Thanks for info
thanks, subscribed....i hope i don't have to replace mine anytime soon, but i'm guessing i will. the grain on my 12 oz, 18 inch stiletto is very widely spaced and the handle feels very light. i would be afraid to hammer very robustly on new handle to set in head if it has the same characteristics. wish it had a rubber cap on the end like the old craftsmen wood hammers. i will probably try a rubber mallet or wood carving mallet to set the new handle..
Use the old shaft to make the wedges, make them long and you can send them in with a mallet.
very funny man. nothing like drinking a beer and eating lunch watching Perkins Brother vids on youtube .... then goin back on a roof
So fascinating 👍
Stilletto actually uses really nice hickory hammer handles. You just have to take the shellac finish off, rub on some boiled linseed oil and you are good to go.
tell me more about this linseed oil.
@@MattFromWork Toby
when i was a young carpenter i made a handle way to long for the fun of it and it worked great for making wall only bent once to tac the nail and hit one shot not bending your back we had a good laugh making the wall
thanks for the video I can't wait to fix my stilleto it broke
I use mine as a back scratcher lol.
I sometimes use my wooden handled back scratcher to hit nails.
Good video. Hat makes him kind of look like an elf😁
Excellent video and skills on that guy doing the repair!
Thanks.. Andy is an excellent woodworker and handyman!
Bro made it look easy. Took me like 1.5 hours
Oh my goodness thanks so much!!!!
Appreciate I am 51 years young and didn't know how to install a new handle
Beard-Man knows his shit. The guys drilling out handles and wasting some kit was saddening.
Nicely done.
Thanks

IM GONNA GO OUTTHERE..NOW AND BRAKE MINE SO I CAN DO THIS.
Had to get mine replaced when I used it on my Nokia phone
I would have so kept handle on that hammer. Maybe shaped it or sanded it. I only replace the handles when they break at the head. But great video all the same 🔨👍🏼
Does the handle come with the wedges and pins?
My handle only came with one wedge and a slot in the middle. Did that handle come with two wedges or did you guys improvise?
You should trim the top bit before putting the wedge in, that way the wedge is properly seated
Makes sense but I'm a newbie... could you please explain why?
@@Ken-pv9zu the wedge didn't quite go all the way in.
@@jeevunvethanayagam6536 the wage went plenty far in if you pay attention to use a tool to countersink it
What are those round sliver things you use at the end to hold the hammer in place
Those are profile-expansion wedges. When you put the wooden wedge in to the top of the handle, that wedge DISTALLY expands the top of the handle to fill out the socket of the hammer head in its cross section. The steel wedges afterwards expand the PROFILE of the top of the handle so that it can fill in the rest of the gaps left in the socket.
New again x
Is a wedge necessary? I only used that steel stud. But my oak pieced wasnt sawed
The handle moves faster than the head thts why it can seat the head onto the handle hitting the way he did
Thank you for that....
@@toms7947 It's the difference in mass, thus difference in momentum.
What are those 2 round metal rings called? What sizes are they? Where can u buy them from? I live in London trying to fix my sledge hammer amazing stuff boys. True Spartan 💪
S KHALIL hello From North Carolina! Those came in the kit with a replacement stiletto hammer handles. They are basically just metal shims that have a sharp enough edge to cut themselves in
search hammer wedge on ebay
There a type of wedge.
Search for Grady Wedges on line. One brand is made by Red Devil, a well-known hardware manufacturer. They should be available locally at a good hardware store, but on line if required. They are not round like in this video, but are wedge shaped and serrated. They have been used forever for hammer and axe handles.
Y'all need you a vise mounted on your bumper or tailgate or somethin'. They you don't have to build you a jig to hold things. :)
use some glue inbetween the wedge and soak it in a bucket of water for night then it will last longer
A stilleto is a type of knife. A dagger. A very, very thin dagger.
It isn't often that the hammer matches the prefab handle that well, I assume it was designed with that specific model of head in mind.
Yes it was from the same company!
The clue is the name Stiletto on the hammer head and the name Stiletto on the handle.
@@harveysmith100 he's right some don't make exact I just did my square 16oz the wedge had to be trimmed snd the 2 metal style wedges were bigger then the original handle and head I smashed it In and it squared all out
I wish ya could find a replacement handle for my 16 oz stiletto, ordered “axe handle” but that’s straight compared to original, maybe I can go custom?
I will check with my local building supplier and see what they say… That’s where we got our replacements for the 14 ounce heads. By the way our new handles are quite a bit thinner in diameter than the old ones, definitely have a little more grip power especially in gloves.
The 16 oz has the square head. I just got one from my local shop gonna replace it this weekend
When my wood handle finally goes I’m going to install the Stiletto fiberglass handle
get the fiberglass handled stiletto much bueno
Prolly the only 14 yo watching stuff like this😮💨
Kirim ke Indonesia bos,,,buat kenang kenangan
Loved the vid and thanks for taking the time to post. It really helped - a lot! Can you post a vid on how to remove a gerbil from the rectum? We might have a problem here and a little help would be appreciated.
To get the rest of the handle out, I’ve always just thrown the head (whether axe or hammer or hatchet etc etc) in the fire. It will burn out in no time. And when he was hammering the bottom of the handle to get the head on, another way to do it is simply bang the bottom of the hammer on the ground (with a piece of wood so no damage). Gets it on there real tight.
I also put a little wood glue in with the wedge when I did mine.
Bad idea putting the heads in fire.... they are hardened/tempered. Get them hot enough and you'll screw up the temper of the steel!!!
I assume you have to sharpen your axes a lot.
You do realize you are effectively taking out the temper of a tool if you put it in a fire? Less capable of holding an edge..
Great! Thanks
Do it right people, a flying hammer is quite dangerous.
A stiletto is a type of knife/ dagger.
What's the purpose of the round metal wedges? I have only ever done this once and simply used all weather wood glue on the wooden wedge before driving it home..
spread handle even more in all directions, someone put straight metal wedges in diff directions for the same reason
@@maximus-2307 Yes: those wedge-shaped (not round) metal wedges have been traditionally used, they are called Grady Wedges. A good hardware store will have them. Also on line.
I like to get my grip
Either this guy fallowed the directions like a boss, or he really knows his shit. Well done, that upside-down hammer trick was cool
That method yields the tightest fit and is actually the proper way to "hang" a new handle on a hammer or axe or whatever tool. Found that out when replacing an axe handle last year
Yes, stilettos are high heels worn to accentuate a woman’s calves and derrière. They’re known by another name, too risqué to mention here.
Love your videos. I’m learning new techniques I’ll practice when building small cat enclosures for the feral cats in my neighborhood. Thank you and G d bless you.
What is the name of that ring that was use to lock the handle?
Round steel safety wedge
Why not the handle and not the hammer it's self to driver the head onto the handle?
2:14 brooo wtf lmao
Sign**** I love this channel. I'd like to work with you all.
... how you gonna put a handler on your new Stiletto hammer?
Is this hammer worth buying as I'm seriously considering it
Yes, you will not be disappointed and neither will your elbow. Wood and titanium is the way to go.
No surprise he's got a plaster on his finger
No need glue or other seal?
no, pay attention to the shape of the whole as he said, the hole is wider on top and the wedge spread the handle.
Mi vende um martelo desse e manda pra mim aqui no Brasil
If my hammer got damaged like that, Id keep using it until it had some real damage
That's what I'm saying. That's barely a scratch
Should this be done in the same way for a brass/copper hammer?
What is the benefit of a Titanium Head?
The 14oz stiletto titanium head is lighter than steel but hits like a 24oz hammer. And doesn’t send shock to your hand. I’ve been using them for awhile now really good hammer, doesn’t weigh me down when in my bags at work.
I’ve been looking at these stilettos. I want the traditional wood handle. But everyone saying the III is better.
The wooden handled ones are nice but we have broken a lot of handles! Most of the ones we have broken have been pulling nails, not driving them.
Love the show. But it appears to me the first floor package showed up late. Make best if the down times
Dang this is pre RayJay.
With some hockey tape on it ,
Usage of the 1/4'' Nut driver deserves a pat or 2 on the back!!!
Um, you missed out the crucial bit between knocking the hammer handle and having the wedges in. Was that not important?
I liked the part where he was hammering a hammer
All the comments from the geeks, yall need to stfu.. This is how its done in the field. Quick, effective and more than capable of working.
People keep commenting about random extras ud maybe do in a shop, but this is real life example of how u in 5 minutes can get back to working
this is exactly how you should do it anywhere, field or shop.
wth are those metal ring things?
wedges
What if only have one hammer? You ever thought about that?
Mind blown! Takes a hammer to fix a hammer
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers actually just finished my axe/hammer. Ready for camping. Thanks for this video! That defying gravity is pretty mind blowing. I did try it
A 14 oz. framing hammer is a baby hammer.
Toque*
Now make sure you teach your kids how to do this I don't know how many times I've gone into hardware stores asking where their replacement handles are and they bring me to the new Hammer section and they say that's all they have just buy a new one why would you want to fix it I told the kid don't say that in front of your grandfather he will slap you upside the head
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
Snapped my handle after a month of owning not happy at all
Woodglut Blueprints has some very useful blueprints with all the details you need.
Why destroy a perfectly good hammer to put on a new one. Your hammer handle was still usable. Mine is broken off at the shaft. Why do you need a wooden shim if you have metal ones????
Because the metal shims only keep the wooden one from.losse ing the wooden one is what does all the holding of the hammer head
cuz he wanted to
Because he is a grown man and can do what he wants? I personally like my stuff to look new even though they’re not new. Some people like nice looking things including me. Plus they’re literally under $20 so why not?
I really enjoy plans from woodprix.
Should have oiled the handle
why?
its pre coated
So I need to buy a new hammer to fix my old hammer? This make not sense good
