ATLAS sledgehammer handle made of hickory wood, with a head size of 40 x 26 mm and a length of 90 cm, suitable for 3 kilo sledgehammers. 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. 4A with article number 651455 is recommended.
Hickory is a heavy and hard American wood species that is even stronger than ash wood. Hickory wood is exceptionally tough, shock-resistant, and resilient. The ATLAS hickory handle is also waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This ensures that the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt, and retains its attractive light 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 hickory sledgehammer handles are, for the most part, manufactured energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various versions.
