while digging on our plot i unearthed a sledgehammer head,which after good going over we a wire brush is ok,but how difficult is it to get a shaft for it numerous builders merchants on the wirral have none, of the big chain diy centres they got none although been waiting for a call back from the gentleman at b+q who went 2hrs ago to have a look if they had any in store!!!!

Might be quicker to drop the hammer head over a sapling and wait for it to grow !

I'll second farm supplies.
I can pop this in the post if it'll help, (not the 20p)? Cheers, Tony.

Have you tried a garden centre?
You can buy shafts of all kinds in the tool section of a garden centre here in France (unfortunately I have no experience in the UK)

The OP says he's already got one, besides, when you add £3.95 postage, they're dearer than ebay.
