I bought this hoe/azada head:

But now I don't know how to put a handle on it. Bought a pole of wood that seemed to be the right diameter, but it's a fraction narrower, so just slips through. Is there some sort of fitting that one gets to fit tools safely onto the end of poles? Any suggestions?

Sorry if this is a dumb question... just new to the world of work tools!!!

Hi l'lisa, The handles for the azadas are very much the same as the ones for mattocks and pick axes in as much as they're tapered so they are wider at the end that the head sits on. I think that the only safe way of fitting the head, is to have the proper handle.
Just think, when you swing that baby over the top of your head, if you hit the ground with just the handle, you just know that the heavy metal head is gonna come down around you some where, chances are it'll come down on you ( see sod's law subsection "mattocky thingys" )
