T-Stiel ATLAS Esche gerade, Länge 95 cm

Shovel handle ATLAS of ash wood, straight T-handle with a length of 95 cm, with a strong through-mount T-grip. A straight shovel handle is often used together with a digging shovel.

ATLAS shovel handles are made from ash rootstocks, 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 sawn ash wood boards are air-dried. During the second process the ash wood is re-dried in a climate chamber under computer control. By re-drying the handle does not shrink, tools remain firmly attached to the handle and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple.

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 natural light color. 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 shovel handles are manufactured completely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
