T-Stiel ATLAS für Spaten mit Schwanenhalsdülle IDEAL Ecco und Spear & Jackson, durchbohrte Griffe, Länge 85 cm

ATLAS spade handle made of ash wood, length 85 cm, equipped with a strong through-mount T-grip and a milled, smooth, narrow end, suitable for a Spear & Jackson spade or ATLAS gooseneck spade. This handle is 5 cm longer than the original Spear & Jackson spade handle. For mounting, a 40 mm rivet is recommended (article number 651590, includes mounting advice).

ATLAS spade handles are made from ash rootstocks, which contain the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-resistant and strong. The ash wood undergoes two drying processes: during the first drying process sawn ash planks are air-dried. During the second process the ash wood is re-dried in a climate chamber under computer control. Because of the re-drying the handle does not shrink, tools remain firmly fixed to the handle and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple.

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

ATLAS spade handles are manufactured entirely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
