Good morning friends. I need to provide a long overdue update.
First, hardwood grabs and skip hammers are back in stock! The color on the grabs is a little different but it’s the same great product. The powder coater had an issue with the original orange and asked to use a different color. For the sake of expediency, I agreed. In the future, we’ll go back to the bright orange.
Second, if you visit our site, you’ll notice some changes. Until further notice, we are only offering hardwood grabs and skip hammer heads. No handles or assembly kits.
This was actually my original plan back in 2017 when I started HLS, but demand prompted me to start assembling. Currently, life is a little too full for me to be able to maintain assembly while still shipping in a timely manner.
For in person sales, I can still assist with assembly, but for the time being it will only be the tools and no hardware or handles.
Handles are available from Madsen’s. They offer the same “boys axe” Tennessee hickory handles.
Thanks for sticking with us as we head into our 10th year in business! Please feel free to message me with questions!
-Rich
