Pete E Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) I have a hickory handled rock hammer, and I am looking for the best way to improve its grip. At present, it has a varnish finish and I was wondering if cleaning it off and replacing it with some sort of oil finish, perhaps Tung oil maybe? Thanks in advance, Peter Edited November 2, 2023 by Pete E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 how about wrapping it in hockey tape. Probably called athletic tape in the UK and other non-hockey places. A little bit of grip and padding, and you can simply replace it as needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Golf club wrap is another option if you want some padding. Athletic tape is always great! Try to buy a dark color as you’ll get lighter wraps looking nasty real quick. Jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 you can also rough up the handle with some coarse sandpaper and dip it in the stuff made for coating the handles of pliers. 1 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
