View source for Lug

'''Lugs''' are small projections down the side of a [[shaft]] of a [[weapon]] or [[tool]] generally next to the [[eye]] of that implement. They are generally found in pairs and may extend up the [[shaft]] in some cases.

Lugs can help guide the [[head]] of the implement to sit straighter on its [[shaft]] assuming the head and lugs are straight themsleves. 

These lugs are an oft forgotten part of reproduction [[medieval]] [[tool]]s but are intrinsic to their form.
