ABSTRACT:
An unbreakable sledge hammer handle includes a conventional, wood or other rigid lower handle portion and a wire rope connector for mounting the hammer head on the top end of the hammer. A pair of collars are fit on the opposite ends of the wire rope connector and secured thereto by applying extreme pressure to the collar which deforms and cold works the interior diameter to fill in the gaps between the wire segments. The sledge hammer head is provided with a cylindrical mounting aperture which is smaller in diameter than the outside diameter of the collar. The hammer head is subsequently heat shrunk onto the collar. The opposite end of the wire rope connector is secured to the wooden handle portion by a sleeve which extends a substantial length over the exterior of the handle portion. The sleeve is riveted to the wooden handle portion and spot welded to the collar.
