Quickly Repair a broken Hammer Handle

[@purelife6846]

Should be named "how not to" repair a broken hammer handle.

[@TheManasekp]

This is a great example of how not to do it.

maybe, but its working fine for me now.

Not very safe. Bet 20$ that will fly off in a couple months if you use it for more than decoration. Kinda disapointed in this really.

[@beestaskarien8075]

I'd say that its going to break rather soon as you introduced cracks into the wood. not only that but its probably going to loosen too, as the wood isnt shaped like the eye of the hammer.

[@RinoaL]

well then, specify a time you think it will break by and we shall see.

[@beestaskarien8075]

honestly i cant confidently say a time, as i havent used a tool in such a condition, but I'd guess in a month, if its being well used. however, I could be completely wrong, as i am just guessing.

[@Baigle1]

Wood very dry, not tight fit, wedges only introduced splinters in that direction without really closing the gaps (putting them in the other way), pivoting, etc Like Monty said some resin, glue, antifreeze, linseed oil which expands the wood and makes it more durable would work, but you would have to redo the wedges because they aren't doing much atm and just fracturing the hardened fibers At least its the right length to get the job done!

[@Markle2k]

+Beesta Skarien Unless we have seen cracks in the wood which presage further problems, I think he did a decent job. The wood should be kept conditioned to prevent further shrinkage, but looks in good condition where he cut it. Sure, he could have done a better job matching the profile of the hole...

[@beestaskarien8075]

at around 4:10 you can see that cracks along the grain have been made

[@craigtate5930]

[@martinblouin3639]

that's a weird coincidence, i was just fitting an old axe head on an handle minutes ago. my hypothesis about yours (and mine) is maybe the wood was so old and dried, AvE say to tighten up a loose handle you let em soak head down in a bucket of antifreeze, i dunno if i'd go with that but i'm gonna try to soak it up in boiled linseed oil to make the wood swell after it's fitted , it's a 30 y old+ handle so.. btw, it's conter intuitive but i learn recently that to fit a tool on an handle you put it upside down, and wack the bottom of the handle (now up) with a wooden stick (a hammer could break it) and the impact drives the head up (Y)

[@SimonNitschke]

The power of the hammer comes from the length of the handle - it's called leverage. Hold a chisel in one hand and hit it as hard as you can holding the hammer right at the end of the handle - it's a skill that is acquired with practice, and one that won't be obtained using a hammer with half a handle.

[@randallgatz955]

That was a pitiful example my man,You really should know what you’re doing before you decide to make a video and and teach other people.

[@nvite2568]

Maybe look into getting a flatbar type tool ((vaughan, stanley etal.) For fastener removal. Withstands much greater loads than a claw hammer and no chance of breaking its handle. Save your nice old finish hammer for finer work. Nice collection of videos!

[@Garymayo]

Typed in repair broken hammer in KZbin and watched two videos. First one was first rate with mostly a karma message to the planet about making the planet a better place through a work ethic. Then I watch your video. Please please please revisit that hammer sometime and try again as you could do better

[@waltermorgenroth7872]

The hammer broke because the train orientation is bad

[@chikmagnet106]

Grain?

[@juanp.delvalle2023]

next time to get the hammer handle into the head, hammer the bottom of the handle while you grab it upside down, so you dont crack the handle.

[@RinoaL]

you mean like i did in the video?

[@juanp.delvalle2023]

like you did but suspended in the air, so you just hit the bottom of the handle and nothing else, it drives by itself into the head

[@RinoaL]

Commander thanks for the offer but ill have to pass.

sounds crazy lol

[@Paracorder]

That is going to break very quickly. The grain is the wrong way and you have split it with the wedges by not seating the head properly.

Yeah you're gonna end up having to do that again

[@rpratt812]

After watching this I will never say anything bad about a unboxing video again.

[@flori8320]

Well done ! The last 3 hammer I had to remake did get a lil bit loose after a month or two, I guess it's because of humidity, temperature variation and the fresh cut on the wood, maybe you'll have the same problem, so don't forget to wack it some more from time to time =)

[@hoosierdaddy3705]

All that wasted time fixing it with tools. 2 Words: Duct Tape. If it moves and you don't want it to use Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and you want it to use WD-40. You already got yer hammer so now you can fix anything.

You like short hammer handles..... I'm betting you don't use hammer to often.

[@RinoaL]

[@americanpatriot6304]

The art of craftsmanship is truly dead after seeing this.

[@davidvines6498]

Use a nail puller to pull nails and a hammer to hammer. The longer handle lets you drive nails into wood versus tapping nails with a short hammer

[@Tony07UK]

Ha ha! What a Bimbo - hasn't got a clue about anything!

[@grandpacocky7618]

If your object was to break the hammer, well done you succeeded. When taking out long nails put a block of something under the head. The handle is long to provide leverage.

[@AdammP]

I don't get all the negativity, the title says quickly repair.. not a full blown revamp. Maybe you need a Hammer to hand quickly and don't have time.. it will last a bit even if not forever. enough to finish a job etc.

[@hollyfleur6144]

i just looked on ebay and that hammer is worth a good amount of money

[@sacriptex5870]

damm its fixed?? try to wrap a wet natural cord on the cracks when gets dried will be very strong fix

[@IrishSkruffles]

Not a fan of short hammers, especially with the claw at the end, long handles give better balance when gripping it closer to the head for more accurate striking. Seems where you live it's pretty dry.. soak your hammers in either water or antifreeze occasionally and the metal will mushroom well before a handle breaks.

[@RinoaL]

thats your personal preference. and i think a type of oil would be better than water. like linseed oil or something.

[@jonnywaselectric]

if you have a loose hammer you can soak the head in engine oil, swells up and holds it tight

[@williwonti]

"I like short hammers." Rinoa Super-Genius Sep 2016

[@frostfirei]

A short handle, is inefficient. The longer the handle,to a point, the more efficient it is. Like putting a 4 cylinder engine in a Rolls Royce Phantom. I had to stop watching such idiocy.

[@RinoaL]

+Sasha Whitefur it depends entirely on what your goal is, shorter handles are more efficient for me.

[@williwonti]

Rinoa Super-Genius I was just making a dick joke, but in a free society we'd all get to use the tools we like best. :)

[@zampa4ever]

You should have cut slots for the wedges before you knocked them in. That way the wood wouldn't have crack. Like a pilot hole for a screw.

[@bctruck]

[@arnearne12345]

let me just say this that hammer was meant to do exactly what you were using it for it's jut that the handle was quite old and dry it probably didn't have much life left anyway descent way to reuse the old handle though

[@nathanloupee9337]

Broke my grandad’s hammer now it is ready for another 50 years of use and abuse

[@skyshatter3452]

RIP your elbows

[@Arsonist42]

the wood is rotted out dude...

[@RinoaL]

yeah i know it is, but its still juuuust usable to make a 15 minute fix worth it.

[@Arsonist42]

totally, I posted that comment 1/3 of the way through the video and I meant to comment again to commend you on fixing it with what you already had, the handle didn't look that bad once you had exposed some fresh wood, but a new handle would have lasted you a lifetime for sure. Still you sound like me and you love fixing stuff so fixing your hammer in 10 years isn't that big of a deal. Love your videos!

[@RinoaL]

Noob also dont forget that back home i have a bunch of hammers i love, and will probably last me a lifetime. this hammer is one i'll probably leave outside in the rain and whatnot. :P

[@Arsonist42]

I love old tools and am especially fond of the ones marked "Canada" or "USA" tools aren't made to last anymore...

[@RedPill-experience]

European crap!!

[@jharris280zx]

I'm not seeing any suggestions about heating the hammer and then pressing it onto the shaft so that when the metal cools and shrinks it will be a tighter fit. so i'll just throw that out there.

[@RinoaL]

yeah i was waiting for that but your the only one to say it. i think i'll put it into a hydraulic press, i'll try without heat first. i think the heat required to make it noticeably bigger would burn the wood.

[@jharris280zx]

I don't think it would have to be that hot, maybe 300* F since steel expands 1 thousandth per 100 *F per inch in diameter. At least that's what I got from one of AVE's videos. maybe throw the head in the oven next time you bake something. Just throwing ideas out there.

[@RinoaL]

***** 1 thousandsth of an inch isnt that important with wood i dont think.

[@cybcarr]

put the head in water or vegetable oil,before working with it, for a few hours, and it makes the wood stronger.

[@mvsrinivas5966]

Why can't we have the hammer with nut bolt system.

[@AvocadoHammer]

I'm all for re-using and repairing, but if it was me, I would have made a new handle instead of hacking away at the old one

[@electricservices49]

Cool!! Looking forward to your surprise in your upcoming videos. Any clues??

[@meandyou917]

Thanks for the video. At least now I have an idea of what to do.

[@Deucetrinal]

Hitting a hammer head with another hammer is really dangerous because they are both hardened. They are prone to chipping, which tends to send the pieces flying outwards at skin breaking, eye smashing velocities. Next time just hold the hammer you're putting the handle into upside down and tap on the butt end of the handle. Momentum will let you easily drive the wood into the hammer head, it looks like the hammer head climbs right up the handle into place.

[@RinoaL]

no it will bend one of them, like what happened to the lower one.

[@Deucetrinal]

+Rinoa Super-Genius Bend one of what? The hammer head? The wooden handle? There's nothing there to be bent. I've rehandled literally dozens of hammers and axes, never once had one bend, chip or break. Go watch Diresta or Green Beetle or Wranglerstar put a handle on. They all do it the same way for a reason.

[@Deucetrinal]

That's exactly WHY you should never hit hammer heads together! Wood will never peen metal down.

[@budmartin8297]

since the real point of this video is to drive comments, I'd say it's bang on. lol

Actually the real point was genuinely fixing the hammer. And it works well for what I want. It's just stupid men that think everything is a nail and hammer handles have to be long.

[@soulquencher01]

[@shanegarrison9709]

the wood is cracked you should put a round wedge in tge middle of the wood that should keep it from splitting

[@DanielMoreira_18]

I'd give you a tip, when trying to remove nails, always put a little piece of wood under the head of the hammer, it works for me.

[@RinoaL]

i didnt have a little piece of wood, plus i didnt care.

[@DanielMoreira_18]

And there's that too.

[@DragonsREpic]

I like short hammers too. I want accuracy, not power

[@enrohau]

What you need is skill.

[@tontonco240]

Try sealing the top of the hammer with some epoxy.. maybe it'll help. and the wood seems too weak from its age and next time you try to pull out a long nail after one effective pull, try adding leverage below your hammer to not break it again Can't wait for another ebike Vlog :)

[@Coachat54]

bro. we dont like what you did to your hammer

[@monkeymindsalin8427]

It does work, however, if one takes the time to shape the handle head and use wedges which are not too large, the job will last a lot longer. From a woodworking perspective, the large cracks you have created with the too large wedges greatly weaken the job and are a sign of well, lets just say that I don't think you would solder a couple wires on a circuit board using a torch and big globs of solder. Carpenters and electronic workers have slightly differing skills and tooling tolerances.... In general, don't use wooden handles for pulling nails or major leverage jobs. Wooden handles generally break from such. Metal and fiberglass are better suited, and we uses what we have on hand to work with. There is fixing and there is "fixing!"

[@RinoaL]

If you need a shorter hammer, it could be that you don't know how to use a hammer...Just sayin'...

[@RedPill-experience]

Sorry, but this time thumbs down. 1 for the short handle. 2 the method that you use to put the hammer on the handle .. You should drop the handle perpendicular to the ground, and let beat the lower part of the handle on the concrete and the hammer will enter the wood and will find its natural position(thanks gravity!). 3 would have at least could secure the hammer with a split cut.. With the method that you have shown it can be used at most 3 minutes. Unless you do not use the hammer as an ornament. (thumbs up for your channel however!)

[@RedPill-experience]

It's a trust method. Everybody use the long handle(even 1000 years ago), drop momentum, and a split cut. It's a millennial collaudate method.

On the other hand it only cost you time so I suppose its a fair trade off.
