ATLAS metal D-handle made of ash wood, straight handle with metal D-grip, length 95 cm. The comfortable YD grip of this handle consists of a strong metal bracket equipped with an ash wood grip. This handle is suitable for the tree root spade or Polygator.
ATLAS metal D-handles are made from ash rootstock, which contains the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing, and strong. The ash wood undergoes two drying processes: during the first drying process, sawn ash wood planks are air-dried. During the second process, the ash wood is computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. Because of the re-drying, the handle does not shrink, and the tool stays firmly attached to the handle.
Next, the ATLAS handles are waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe, prevents it from absorbing water or dirt, and preserves its beautiful natural color. Waxing provides a longer lifespan and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping prevent blisters. In addition, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS metal D-handles are manufactured entirely carbon-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and designs.
