Handle Protector. Safety compliance for hammer type handles. Prevents overstrike damage to handles. No more stinging hands from overstrike. No more broken handles.
Works great with a Husqvarna hand forged sledgehammer. I didn't heat it to put it on, but it was a little difficult. It also tends to twist on the handle but gets the job done and protects the wooden handle.
The tight fit is good, just need to boil for 5 minutes, moisten and lather the stem, and then put on. It's good to go, and they've been on the sled to protect my walls for years. Just worth the cost.
These Savers pens are worth their weight in gold. I build and work with them pretty hard and have had to replace more grips for as long as I can remember. Now I have them on all ax handles and sledgehammers and I have never broken them since. Using an ax or sledgehammer regularly will definitely save you time and money. There's nothing worse than halfway through a job or project when your tools break and you have to start a new pen or get a new tool. Installation is easy, it takes some effortβ¦
