Splitting maul handle or splitting axe handle ATLAS made of ash wood, with head size 50 x 30 mm and a length of 90 cm. Due to the oval shape of the handle, the axe head is always in the correct striking direction. For mounting the handle, two metal hammer wedges no. 4a with article number 651455 are recommended.
ATLAS splitting maul 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 planks are air-dried. During the second process, the ash wood is computer-controlled redried in a climate chamber. Because of the redrying, the handle does not shrink and the axe head remains firmly fixed to the handle.
The ATLAS handle is then waxed with the plant-based Carnauba. This ensures that the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt, and retains its beautiful light color. The waxing provides a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, preventing blisters. Moreover, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS splitting maul handles are manufactured entirely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
