Engineer’s hammer handle ATLAS made of ash wood for a 400-gram engineer’s hammer, with head size 14 x 24 mm and length 31 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 DIN5111 standards.
ATLAS hammer handles are made from ash rootstocks, 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 computer-controlled redried in a climate chamber. By redrying, the handle does not shrink and the hammer head remains firmly fixed to the handle.
The ATLAS handle is then waxed with the plant-based Carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe, does not absorb water or dirt, and retains its beautiful light color. The waxing ensures a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, preventing blisters. In addition, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS hammer handles are manufactured entirely carbon-neutrally in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and designs.
