OVERVIEW

Restore Your Tool's Performance with the Atlas 26 Hickory Handle

Maintain the efficiency and safety of your welding cleanup tools with the Atlas 26 Replacement Hickory Handle. Designed specifically for Atlas chipping hammers, this high-quality wooden handle allows you to breathe new life into your favorite slag removal tool without the expense of purchasing a completely new unit. Chipping hammers endure significant stress and impact during daily use, and while the hardened steel heads are built to last for years, handles can eventually wear down, splinter, or break. This replacement part ensures you can keep your trusted hammer head in operation.

The Atlas 26 is crafted from genuine American hickory, a wood renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resilience. Unlike synthetic alternatives, hickory possesses natural shock-absorbing properties that dampen the vibrations generated when striking hardened slag or metal. This reduction in vibration transfer is crucial for welder comfort, helping to minimize hand and wrist fatigue during extensive post-weld cleanup tasks. The wood's natural grain also provides a secure, comfortable grip that improves with use, ensuring precise control over your chipping strikes.

Installation is straightforward, allowing you to get back to work quickly. The handle is shaped to fit standard Atlas chipping hammer eyes and typically comes with the necessary wedging components to ensure a tight, safe fit. By replacing a damaged handle promptly, you not only restore the tool's functionality but also ensure safety in the workplace by preventing accidental head separation. Choose the Atlas 26 Hickory Handle for a reliable, ergonomic, and cost-effective repair solution.
