T-Stiel ATLAS für Spaten mit Schwanenhalsdülle mit 30cm Glasfaser Kernstab ø16 mm, Länge 90 cm

Spade handle ATLAS made of ash wood, length 90 cm, equipped with a fiber core, a T-grip and a milled end, smooth, narrow tip, suitable for a Spear & Jackson spade or ATLAS gooseneck spade. The handle is fitted with a virtually unbreakable 16 mm thick fiberglass reinforcement. This fiberglass rod is milled into the underside of the handle. The handle is 10 cm longer than the original Spear & Jackson spade handle. For assembly a 40 mm rivet is recommended (item number 651590, including assembly 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 computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. By re-drying the handle does not shrink and tools remain firmly attached to the handle.

The ATLAS handles are then 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, 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 models.
