This Hammer Wedge 5pc Set is a collection of metal wedges used to secure hammer heads to wooden or composite handles. Each wedge is driven into the eye of a hammer head to expand the handle tenon and lock the head in place; the primary use is repair and assembly of hand hammers and mallets where reliable head retention is required.

The wedges are manufactured from medium carbon tool steel to EN10083-2 (commonly equivalent to C45/EN8), heat treated for toughness and resistance to deformation. They are supplied with a dark phosphate/blued finish to give improved corrosion resistance and reduced galling during installation. As wedge components have no threaded or driven features, thread type is not applicable; the head type is a tapered, round-to-square wedge profile intended to be struck with a hammer or mallet (drive type: impact). These parts are produced to standard workshop tooling tolerances and workmanship consistent with BS/EN general fastener and hand-tool practice.

Typical applications include replacing split or missing wedges on engineers’ hammers, club hammers, cross-peen and claw hammers, and securing custom-made handles in joinery, maintenance and restoration work. The set is useful across carpentry, general building and construction, light engineering workshops, agricultural implement repair and heritage tool restoration where original wedge retention methods are required. The compact set allows tradespeople and workshop technicians to carry multiple sizes for on-site repairs.

Key benefits of the set are long service life and reliable head retention due to the heat-treated steel, the corrosion-resistant phosphate finish, and a tapered profile that provides a secure mechanical lock without additional adhesives. The wedges are compatible with most standard wooden and laminated hammer handles and can be trimmed after installation if required. Duchy Fasteners supplies this Hammer Wedge 5pc Set to cover the common range of hammer-eye sizes and also offers individual wedges and alternative pack quantities to suit workshop and trade requirements.
