🔧 Seymour 423 Lightweight 16 Inch Engineers Blacksmith Tool with Enhanced Durability Review

This is a really well made straight grain hardwood handle. I put a 4lb hammer head on it and it has held up well to my use. When I finally wear this one out, I'll buy another one just like that.

The ideal heavy duty replacement grip! The handle of my blacksmith's hammer finally broke after 20 years of abuse and it was the perfect replacement. I had to trim a lot to the end to get the perfect fit. Nice solid hickory handle.

I had this old hammer a long time ago. I've been using it for years with a battered old handle. Then one day it broke my help. So, since the old hammer has been idle for years. I decided to buy your pen and fix it. Long story short, I took 11 hits on the cast iron pipe before it broke again.

I used a tapered wedge instead of the metal wedge that came with it. I prefer them to small metal wedges. boiled linseed oil. As long as it stays on and does its job.

Grip was fairly easy to shape on the oval nose end with an 80 gauge belt on a belt sander. The hickory is strong, so a familiar smoky flavor may come out when you rub the fit area.

Nice piece of wood with a neat finish! I had to trim it down a bit, but then it fit the head very snugly. When I was done there was 1/2 inch sticking out at the top and some space at the bottom. I painted the inside of the head with a black marker and it was easy to find the highlights on the handle. I used a carbide burr for forming. When I was done with that I applied a coat of JB Weld Epoxy. I don't think it's going anywhere! I recommend if you want to keep good old tools.

This handle was used in an old 3 pound hammer with the typical oval eyelet. The notch (notch) is slightly longer, so after installing it on the head and before installing the wedges, it had to cut about a quarter inch from the top (this isn't a problem as I usually cut after the wooden wedge anyway). One downside to this handle is that the end was a bit smaller than I wanted - even with the wooden wedge driven into the cut as deep as possible, there was a bit of volume on the sides of the eye…
