T-Stiel ATLAS für Drainagespaten Seite 20 nummer 1, Länge 100 cm

ATLAS spade handle of ash wood, straight T-handle 100 cm long, with a strong through-mount T-grip and fitted with a smooth, angled tip. This handle is, among others, suitable for Polet spades and shovels with double springs. Two rivets are required for assembly (see item number 651620, also for the assembly instructions).

ATLAS spade handles are made from ash under-stems, which contain the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing and strong. The ash wood undergoes two drying processes: during the first drying process the sawn ash planks are air-dried. During the second process the ash wood is re-dried in a climate chamber controlled by computer. By re-drying the handle does not shrink, the tool stays firmly attached to the handle and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or staples.

Next the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This ensures that the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt and retains its beautiful natural colour. The waxing provides a longer service life and a pleasant smooth handle, which prevents blisters. Moreover, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.

ATLAS spade handles are manufactured completely energy-neutral in the Netherlands.
