    This is of course correct but many buyers prefer to purchase
    assembled hammers, not so many decisions to make and ready to use
    "out of the box". Maybe this becomes more of an issue for those who
    rely heavily on hammers in their work or has aquired certain
    preferrences over the years.

    My sources are mainly in Sweden, Denmark and Germany. The majority
    offers a ready-to-use hammes and replacement handles. Karl Fischer
    GmbH in Germany, fairly known in the US for their quality tools,
    does offer a wide heads and handles separately.
