Engineer's hammer handle ATLAS made of hickory for a 500-gram engineer's hammer, with head size 15.5 x 26.5 mm and length 32 cm. Due to the oval shape of the handle the hammer head is always in the correct striking direction. For mounting the handle a metal hammer wedge no. 3 with article number 651425 is recommended.
This ATLAS hammer handle complies with DIN 5111 standards.
Hickory is a heavy, hard American wood species that is even stronger than ash wood. Hickory wood is particularly tough, shock-resistant and resilient. The ATLAS hickory handle is also waxed with plant-based carnauba. This ensures that the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt, and retains its beautiful natural light color. Waxing provides a longer lifespan and a pleasant smooth handle, which helps prevent blisters. Moreover, waxing handles with a plant-based wax is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS hickory hammer handles are, for the most part, manufactured energy-neutrally in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and configurations.
