My dad gave me a older double ax head. Went to tractor supply and picked up a replacemnt handle, but it only came with a wooden wedge taped to the handle. Guy working the info counter toward the back said steel wedges were only used on hammers and the wood wedge was the only thing I needed......can I get some advice and direction please?

A steel (aluminum) wedge should be driven at a right angle to the wood wedge to expand the handle in the other direction. They can be purchased separately.

i used those wedges on my maul. I don't know what that dude was talking about, cause I see those little metal wedges strapped right to some replacement axe handles (although, not all)
I use two steel wedges crosswise to the wooden one. Listening to any counterman requires a filter.
