Maul Repair ???

[Happy Stacker]

The fiberglass handle snapped today on my maul. I need to remove the broken part that is in the head and appears to be epoxied on the top end. Drill it out or hammer it out in one piece? Also have an old wood handle but it still has a steel wedge in it. How can I remove the metal wedge without damaging the handle?

Drill it out and put a new wood handle on it. I wouldn't fool with trying to salvage a used handle. My two cents worth. Kevin

I really could not justify spending $20 on a new handle when I had a perfectly good 50+ yr old one. As daddy always said..."It may look broke but one day you are going to need it to fix something else. The trick is remembering where you put it"

Getting the wedge out was easier than I thought. soaked the end in water overnight and pryed it out with a screw driver. Good as new.
