“Handled it” like a BOSS !
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?
@@nickgoghettah4:28
I saw that and came to comment, but I have done the same with my hammer as an electrician! 😅
Does the handle come with the wedges and pins?
Good video. Hat makes him kind of look like an elf😁
Prolly the only 14 yo watching stuff like this😮💨
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.
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! 😂

Dude that was satisfying!! To watch those are amazing I'm saving up for mine.
Use the old shaft to make the wedges, make them long and you can send them in with a mallet.
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!
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.

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.
Had to get mine replaced when I used it on my Nokia phone
I use mine as a back scratcher lol.
I sometimes use my wooden handled back scratcher to hit nails.
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 👌🏻
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!!
Beard-Man knows his shit. The guys drilling out handles and wasting some kit was saddening.
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
😂🤙🏻
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..
No surprise he's got a plaster on his finger
Beaver Tooth Handle Co. in Tennessee makes great hickory california framer axe shaped handles.
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
I put mine on the grill to burn out the old handle remnants, or you could use a fire pit. It only took about 10 minutes. I liked this video to get the new one attached Thanks! (note: you don't have to burn it much. Pull it from the fire when the wedges look about fall out, but haven't yet)😊
Quick do it no one's watching
Great job, bringing that hammer back to life.
Charles Jackson III Still going strong brother
As a kid, I remember seeing the forman welder in our shop fit a new hammer handle. It blew my mind when he hit the end of the handle instead of the head. My understanding of reality came crashing down that day.
Just got this hammer and a replacement handle for future but cant wait to use and test the titanium out.
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.
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'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 don't like how the replacement handles are skinnier. I liked my original fatter handle the girth was nice 🤓
Usage of the 1/4'' Nut driver deserves a pat or 2 on the back!!!
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!
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
Thank you guys for the video. Have me a better idea on how to do it.
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
Is a wedge necessary? I only used that steel stud. But my oak pieced wasnt sawed
Before I knew stiletto made hammers I knew there was a kind of knife with the same name.
A stilleto is a type of knife. A dagger. A very, very thin dagger.
Great! Thanks
Do it right people, a flying hammer is quite dangerous.
use some glue inbetween the wedge and soak it in a bucket of water for night then it will last longer
That was way cooler than I expected. Hammer smithing
pretty sweet 5/16th hex drive punch u got there
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
Bro made it look easy. Took me like 1.5 hours
Snapped my handle after a month of owning not happy at all
A stiletto is a type of knife/ dagger.
A 14 oz. framing hammer is a baby hammer.
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 🔨👍🏼
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 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
Appreciate I am 51 years young and didn't know how to install a new handle
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?
Hey guys, I use a little bit of sub floor glue to it helps.
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. :)
Um, you missed out the crucial bit between knocking the hammer handle and having the wedges in. Was that not important?
Hope his carpentry skills are better than his hammer wedge fitting skills, Poor advice imho,,
Great video thank you !
very funny man. nothing like drinking a beer and eating lunch watching Perkins Brother vids on youtube .... then goin back on a roof
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?
Woodglut Blueprints has some very useful blueprints with all the details you need.
live free or die NH
So I need to buy a new hammer to fix my old hammer? This make not sense good
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
2:14 brooo wtf lmao
thanks for the video I can't wait to fix my stilleto it broke
Kirim ke Indonesia bos,,,buat kenang kenangan
Just watched the video. Thanks for info
get the fiberglass handled stiletto much bueno
great video as allways
Mi vende um martelo desse e manda pra mim aqui no Brasil
Why not the handle and not the hammer it's self to driver the head onto the handle?
IM GONNA GO OUTTHERE..NOW AND BRAKE MINE SO I CAN DO THIS.
... how you gonna put a handler on your new Stiletto hammer?
Dang this is pre RayJay.
I liked the part where he was hammering a hammer
Toque*
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.
With some hockey tape on it ,
Best video on TH-cam.
So fascinating 👍
I like to get my grip
Thank you so much!!!!
Clean fix
What is the name of that ring that was use to lock the handle?
Round steel safety wedge
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
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.
Excellent video and skills on that guy doing the repair!
Thanks.. Andy is an excellent woodworker and handyman!
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.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
wth are those metal ring things?
wedges
Should this be done in the same way for a brass/copper hammer?
Dont ever buy a stiletto replacemeny handle theyre junk half the size as the original. It like a dinky little thing
The replacement handle looked fine, much thicker than that and all you do is increase hand shock under normal use.
Did you just assume my gender...

Sign**** I love this channel. I'd like to work with you all.
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.
Oh my goodness thanks so much!!!!
