Long Atlas shovel handle made of ash wood with through-mount T-grip
ATLAS shovel handle made of ash wood, straight T-handle with a length of 130 cm, with a strong through-mount T-grip. A straight shovel handle is often used together with a digging shovel.
ATLAS shovel handles are made from ash tree trunks, which contain 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 boards are air-dried. During the second process, the ash wood is kiln-dried again in a climate-controlled chamber by computer. By re-drying, the handle does not shrink, the tool stays firmly attached to the handle, and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple.
Next, the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe, prevents it from absorbing water or dirt, and helps retain its beautiful light natural color. The waxing provides a longer service life 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 shovel handles are manufactured entirely carbon-neutrally in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
