I keep my hammers in an antifreeze solution. Keeps the handles tight and is
not harmful to the wood.  Wooden boat people use it to keep boats tight
without causing dry rot.

I think this has gone around before but with my last HD crash I lost
lots of good tips, so.
How do you guys keep the handles in your hammers tight?  I have let the
hammer sit in the slack tub which keeps the head tight but does not do
the handle any good.  I tried soaking neats foot oil into the handle at
the head but it seemed to dry out also.  Any suggestions?  I'm in
central Texas and everything dries up here in the summer.
