Abstract
A hammer having unique structure in the handle receiving central portion of its hammer head unit. A wedge unit is formed from two intersecting wedge sections that are made of a specific plastic material. The top surface of one of the wedge sections is spaced downwardly a predetermined distance from the top surface of the other wedge section to form a channel for receiving a magnet. The wedge unit is driven into the top end of the hammer causing the wood to be wedged outwardly in four directions within the handle receiving central portion of the hammer head unit. The wedge sections of the wedge unit have a plurality of horizontal barbs and the respective slots formed in the top end of the handle have mating notches for receiving the horizontal barbs of the wedge unit. An epoxy adhesive may also be used to aid in holding the wedge unit in the top end of the handle.
