Hickory Hammer Handles

H.A. Stiles supplies hickory hammer handles for durability and shock absorption. We support buyers that need wood handles for hammers, axes, sledges, and other tools.

Hickory is commonly specified for these applications since it’s strong and can reduce vibration. Handle profile, length, and end style are selected based on tool weight, balance, and intended use.

Hickory hammer handles are typically sourced for OEM tool lines and heavy-duty applications.

Brass ferruled handles are typically used when tools require added protection at the handle end to prevent cracking or failure over time. The ferrule reinforces the wood where stress is most concentrated. Buyers will often request ferruled handles for tools that experience repeated impact, leverage, or torque during use.

In addition to structural benefits, brass ferrules can add weight or balance depending on the tool design.
