Atlas hickory sledgehammer handle, with head size 50 x 40 mm and length 90 cm, suitable for sledgehammers from 6 to 10 kilos. For mounting the handle, two metal hammer wedges no. 4A with article number 651455 are recommended.
Thanks to the oval shape of the handle, the hammer head is always in the correct striking direction.
Hickory is a heavy and hard American wood species that is even stronger than ash wood. Hickory wood is especially tough, shock-resistant, and resilient. The Atlas sledgehammer handle is also waxed with vegetable-based Carnauba. This ensures that the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt, and retains its beautiful light color. Waxing provides a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping to prevent blisters. Moreover, waxing handles with plant-based wax is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
Atlas hickory sledgehammer handles are manufactured, for the most part, energy-neutrally in the Netherlands and are available in various versions.
