So how do I choose handle diameter?.

This will only affect you if you want a round handle.

Hammergrip  Hammergrip handles come in one contoured size.  (Oval cross section approx 34mm at widest )

So if you want a round handle.

  1. Find a handle that you like.

  2. Wrap a piece of paper around it.

  3. Make a mark through the top layer of paper (poke a sharp pencil through it.)

  4. Now unwrap the paper strip and measure the distance between the two holes.

For handle diameter, please use this table.....

Diameter mm (across)

28mm 30mm 32mm 34mm 36mm 38mm 40mm 42mm

Circumference mm (around)

88mm 94mm 100mm 107mm 113mm 120mm 126mm 132mm

Note that 34mm is the widest "normal" handle. It is easy to increase this size with foam backed bindings.

So how is the handle length measured?.

From the top of the handle to the ground. The best length for you will depend on the grip that you use and your playing style. Solomon's grip is usually longer than Standard grip, and Irish grip will be shorter than that.

Solomons grip and Standard grip,  if you are about 1.73m (5'8") tall, then standard length is 910mm (36").

Irish Grip standard length will be between 810mm and 860mm (32"~34")

For handle length, please use this table...

Length in mm

810mm 860mm 920mm 940mm 970mm 1000mm

Removing your head  ouch!

When the time comes to get the head off your Terminator Mallet,

• Unscrew the screw about 8mm (1/4") protruding from the bottom of the head,
• Now, find a smooth, hard surface (like some smooth concrete)
• and holding the mallet by the top of the handle, dangling vertically, 10 cm (4") above the surface,
• jerk the mallet downwards so the screw smacks into the hard surface.

• If you did it right, the head will have jumped down the shaft a little bit.
• Extend the screw a bit more, and repeat.

When I get a really stubborn one, I use a longer screw (8mm metric from your local hardware store) to lessen the risk of damaging anything.

You might think that whacking the screw with a hammer would have the same effect.
SADLY, many things can go seriously wrong with that approach.
