Amtech Pro A2430 900mm Fibreglass Pick Axe Replacement Handle 36 inch Long
Barcode: 5032759050833
MPN A2430
Overview:
The Amtech Pro A24030 900mm Fibreglass Pick Axe Handle (36") is a heavy-duty replacement handle designed for pick axe and mattock heads with a standard 70mm x 50mm socket. Built with a super-strong fibreglass core and a high-density polypropylene outer, it delivers excellent strength with a comfortable, easy-grip feel. Compared with traditional wooden handles, fibreglass offers key advantages on site and in the garden: it won’t absorb moisture, is far less likely to swell, shrink or warp with weather changes, and it resists rot and splitting over time.
The handle is also lightweight with good shock-absorbing qualities, helping reduce hand and arm fatigue during repeated striking and chopping work.
