Abstract
A method of method of equipping a hammer handle with a magnetic, nail-head retainer for starting a nail includes steps such as follows. A tubular sleeve is produced from tube stock. The tubular sleeve extends between spaced open ends and has a hollow core characterized by an inside diameter. An unequipped hammer handle is bored with a bore hole which extends between an open end and closed end. A magnet is inserted in the bore hole. The tubular sleeve is inserted in the bore hole afterwards to trap the magnet in the bore hole.

A method of equipping a hammer handle with a magnetic, nail-head retainer for starting a nail;
- said method comprising the steps of:
- producing a tubular sleeve from tube stock which extends between spaced open ends and which has a hollow core characterized by an inside diameter;
- boring an unequipped hammer handle with a bore hole which extends between an open end and closed end;
- inserting a magnet in the bore hole;
- and
- inserting the tubular sleeve in the bore hole afterwards to trap the magnet in the bore hole;
- wherein the step of producing the tubular sleeve further comprises forming one of the open ends with an inward burr or flare;
- and
- the step of inserting the tubular sleeve in the bore hole further comprises inserting the tubular sleeve in the bore hole with the one open end that has the inward burr or flare leading.
A method of equipping a hammer handle with a magnetic, nail-head retainer for starting a nail;
- said method comprising the steps of:
- producing an inner tubular sleeve from tube stock which extends between spaced open, ends and which has a hollow core characterized by an inside diameter;
- producing an outer tubular sleeve from tube stock which extends between an outboard open end and an inboard open end, and, which also has a hollow core characterized by an inside diameter;
- boring an unequipped hammer handle with a bore hole which extends between an open end and closed end;
- inserting a magnet in the bore hole;
- inserting the outer tubular sleeve in the bore hole;
- and
- inserting the inner tubular sleeve in the hollow core of the outer tubular sleeve afterwards to trap the magnet in the bore hole.
