An Atlas ash wood shovel handle is bent in boiling water.

The ATLAS shovel handle is made from ash wood understocks, which contain the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing, and strong. The ash wood is computer-controlled kiln-dried in a climate chamber. As a result, the handle does not shrink, tools stay firmly attached to the handle, and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple.

ATLAS handles are bent in boiling water. This allows the wood grain in the handle to bend along with it and prevents the grain from running out of the handle. The bending process makes the handle extremely strong. In addition, the ATLAS handle is waxed with the plant-based Carnauba, which ensures a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, preventing blisters.

Explanation of socket position
The socket position indicates the angle relative to the blade. The higher the socket position, the more angled the socket is. This determines whether a shovel or digging shovel is designed for digging or scooping. The socket position is measured from the ground to the socket when the blade lies flat on the ground.
Straight: the handle is almost straight on the blade
1/4: the socket is bent 35 mm, for example for digging shovels
1/2: the socket is bent 55 mm, for example for scoop shovels and concrete shovels
3/4: the socket is bent 70 cm, for example for scoop shovels and deep shovels

Explanation of blade width
In the past, there were blade widths ranging from number 2 to 0, with 2 being the largest. Over time, the blades had to become smaller due to working conditions, and smaller sizes were introduced.

The blade sizes for shovels and spades range from large to small: 2 – 1 – 0 – 00 – 000
