VAUGHAN DALLUGE Replacement Hammer Handle, Made In The USA, 3000, VN03000

I had to modify it a bit because I ordered the wrong handle but I am very happy with it.

The handle looked good, but broke while framing within a month of use.

I followed the instructions to a T and Everytime the handle still cracks when drive in the metal, I would really like it if the cut was deeper for the wedge so that this wouldn't happen

Worked perfectly...

Direct fit

I have the Dalluge Decking Hammer and have been using them for years. It was time I got another hammer as back up. So I did in Aug 2015. I started thinking I should have a replacement handle around as well, so in late Jan-2016 I ordered one, but didn't look closely at it. Well it's April and my older hammer broke. No problem. I pulled out my new one and didn't miss but 2 minutes of work. That evening went to put the replacement handle on the broken hammer and looked at it closely and it isn't straight grain like both my other hammers have or had. At the thinnest part of the handle it veers to the outside and looks like a branch of the tree it came from grew through it (the grain of the wood). It'll clearly break there on the first use. Just like the other review. It's to late to return it. So I'll have to eat the cost. Vaughn Tools now owns Dalluge and their hammer handles have always been flawless. As an aside, I've used Vaughn wood handle hammers for 20 years before discovering Dalluge hammers. DO NOT PURCHASE Dalluge handles.

Haters will be haters, great handle!

returned to Quality Distributing handle has incorrect grain, for exchange.
