Tomhawk Drift recommendations?

Featured Replies

Was going to order from here along with some of their handles to ensure a match:

Other option was from blacksmith depot:

Can anyone who has used either or both comment?

Cheers,
Kris

There is a post further back that discusses these drifts.

I have a couple of the blacksmith depot drifts and would recommend them... Ive made maybe 60-80 hawks with one and its holding up well..

thanks! order in.

The Kayne drifts are fine,but don't let the head get cool.The drifts are made from ductile iron and are soft,if the head gets too cool it will peel the metal from the drift,I have 3 or 4 and they are all little mishapen.I think they are made more for wrap and weld heads---Regards Butch

The best thing to do is have a tomahawk head of the size you plan on using, then make your own drift to fit it. Use sucker rod or alloy steel like 4140 or 5160 types. Then you'll always have the right size and it will last for years
