Some people find the woodgrain of a wooden handle more comfortable on the palm; others just prefer the look of varnished wood — in any case, our wooden shafted hammers continue to be a popular buy.

To prolong the life of a wooden-shafted hammer, it should be stored away from extremes of temperature, and to avoid excessively dry environments - shelves above radiators are definitely out!

Please note that the images on this page are for illustration purposes only; accurate images of the product itself will be uploaded soon.
