Bling Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Panel and paint supply shop? If they don't stock them they should be able to get them. If they are a worthy shop anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixx Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I used to have a set of garden tools with manuka handles. We just cut a suitable sized manuka tree and cut it to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I do King Tony through my shop. I will see if they do separate handles tomorrow. I just got one of their panel sets for myself mainly for the dollies. Aslong as you get hickory handles you should be good. What make are your hammers?

JasonK Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 just buy snap on/spam I'm yet to find a hammer handle that is as comfortable as a snap on one. Definitely worth paying the extra if your using it every day, I find the toptul ones especially uncomfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
