Is there a better way to keep an axe head on a wooden handle besides soaking it in water? It's really starting to annoy me that my axe head is loose every time I want to use it.

I have the same problem with a fiberglass handle maul.. everything ive tried, bout a dozen er so good hard cracks and its flying off!!!
tighten with your steel and wooden wedges--ten put the head,,in a pail of light oil--and let it soak,,if the handle is fresh--may take a while--oil swells the wood fibers--
3. You must drive in the supplied wooden wedge in the slot of the end of the handle. Then you apply one or more metal wedges at a right angle to the wooden wedge. Actually an angle works best. 5. If the handle loosens said:This is the best advice! I have learned the hard way long enough. The wood wedge goes in the slit, and the metal one across at 90 degrees or abouts. The metal wedges are about 69 cents at the hardware and come in all sizes.
