The part at 1:06 is valuable info. I saw other people on Home Depot and home improvement sites having the same question as me and were struggling to find the answer.
Yes we have questions like that all the time which is why we felt it necessary to start making videos. Please share our info and feel free to call or email if you have future inquiries!
This is Michele’s husband! Bought the handle and had no clue of how to put it on! Your tutorial was excellent and made it so much easier than I thought it was going to be! Thank you!
I looked at the comments and saw that a lot of people asked about removing the old ferrule. I used a side grinder with a cut-off blade to slice the ferrule lengthwise and cut the retaining screw then a claw hammer to pry the ferrule off.
Well you glossed over the main part?? I assume your handles aren't pre drilled... so what size hole? How deep? My tang isn't round so should I drill 2 smaller holes side by side to simulate the oval shape or should I just by another brand that is pre drilled like all the other videos show?
I cant say whether it's right or wrong,but I drill a hole just over 2" deep and go with a single hole the smallest diameter of the shank you'll be inserting into the handle. I also use an epoxy for extra piece of mind liberally applied in the hole.
Good video BUT where can I buy one of your products? Need a socket hoe handle. Went to your website and cannot find anything other than your catalog. No mention of how/where to buy product.
A tang is basically the butt of the metal tool. If you look at a knife with a wooden handle, the tang is the part in the handle. If the tang goes all the way to the bottom of the handle, it's a 'full tang'. So on a heavy rake head, the tang is the part that goes into the handle.
tang is the metal pointy thang that comes together on the back of the bow, of the rake! Actually, the metal end that goes into the handle. =) A lot of folks even call the teeth on the rake tangs, and the sharp point on the top of a file where you drive on a piece of broom handle or tree limb for the handle.
