ATLAS pickaxe handle or piochesteel made of hickory, with a head size of 80 x 50 mm and a length of 90 cm. Due to the pointed oval shape of the handle, the pickaxe is always in the correct striking direction. No split wedges or wedges are needed to install this handle.
Hickory is a heavy and 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 allows the wood to breathe, prevents it from absorbing water or dirt, and preserves its beautiful natural color. The waxing ensures a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping prevent blisters. Moreover, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS hickory club hammer handles are manufactured largely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
