Is the hammer constantly dangling from the handle? Fasten it securely with a bolt, washer and nut. How to do it - read on. Do not forget to like and subscribe to the channel - we publish only useful and interesting content!

The method is suitable both for repairing broken handles, and for those on which the striking part hangs.

What is needed for this?

As consumables, you need: an M6 * 60 bolt with a nut (you can use a bolt with both a conventional turnkey head and a hex head), a wide field washer M6 * 20, epoxy glue. The washer can be replaced with a five-ruble coin by drilling a hole in it for an M6 bolt.

Of the tools you will need: a drill, a hacksaw, drills with a diameter of 6 and 10 mm, a wrench or hexagon for the size of the bolt, a knife, sandpaper.

How to do it?

• Saw off the broken or worn-out part of the handle.
• Using a knife and sandpaper, fit the handle under the hammer. The handle should fit snugly into the striking part of the instrument.
• Drill a 60mm deep hole from the end of the handle.

• Drill the side of the handle at a distance of 50 mm from the end of the transverse blind hole with a 10 mm drill for installing the nut.
• Slide the striking part onto the handle.
• Place the washer over the bolt and insert it into the hole from the end.

• Insert the nut into the hole on the side of the handle.
• Tighten the threaded mount.

• Fill the side hole with epoxy.
• Once the epoxy has risen, the hammer can be used.

After such a repair, the handle will no longer be complete, since the holes violate the integrity of the wood. Such a hammer can be safely used for its intended purpose - to hammer in nails. But they should not adjust metal parts, try to bend corners, hammer reinforcement into the ground or break something.
