To replace a broken shovel handle could be easy once the rivet and handle are removed and the new handle is inserted with wedges.
Remove the old shovel handle by drilling out or sawing off the rivets.
Taper the end of the new shovel handle to fit into the shovel head.
Make sure that the handle is seated all the way down and that the holes in the handle and the shovel head align.
Insert rivets or bolts to attach the handle to the shovel head.
When choosing a new shovel handle, make sure that it is the same length and diameter as the old handle.
If you are using a fiberglass shovel handle, be careful not to over-tighten the screws when attaching it to the shovel head. This could damage the handle.

I love this channel. It always teaches me something. It's like the dad I never had. I mean, I HAD a dad, but he never repaired anything that I can remember.

That’s a Jackson pony shovel I believe, that’s a great store too.

I don't blame you for repairing that well made shovel. I'd do the same thing.

Excellent instruction and video. Thanks for showing how to do this repair

Thank you👍, also for the TIP of the ALL-GRAINS GO FACING UP, so it does not brake again. NOTE: the reason not to use screws is because vibrations unscrew all screws (physics 101)

Stainless Bolt and Nut with blue lock tite A little more pricey but easier to change the handle when needed.

What if you have an older tool that only has a rivet hole on one side, versus going all the way through like the one in your video. I have an old cultivator with a rivet hole on the top and one on only one side. Do you use some form of blind riveting technique?

@MrHardware1 4 месяца назад

That’s when I use a 1 inch by number 10 Panhead sheet metal screw. I put them, with small pilot holes so it doesn’t split the wood, to secure the shovel. That should be all you need.

@@MrHardware1Appreciate the reply...thanks. Just curious - I have an old hoe that has the same configuration and it has rivets versus screws. Any idea how they did that type of riveting back in the day?

@@jrod1077 in the old days you took a mild steel rod, clamped it in a vise, pounded on the end until it mushroomed and created a head. The cut it 3/16 longer than the Length required, placed the mushroom head against the vise or an anvil and then pounded a mushroom head on the end of the rod. 5 minutes to create and install a rivet.
