HICKORY WOOD STRIKING TOOLS
With our new range of striking tools, we have focussed on above-average durability and resilience. We only use hickory wood for the handles of the axes, hatchets, splitting and sledge hammers. Hickory wood offers a higher density and bending strength compared to conventional ash wood. The high quality was certified by the independent testing and certification body VPA.

FAQS ABOUT THE PRODUCT RANGE
Hickory wood is popular for striking tools with handles due to its excellent properties. It is characterised by high strength, elasticity and shock absorption. This combination makes hickory particularly resistant to shocks and vibrations, which increases the durability and efficiency of the striking tools.Hickory-Holz wird aufgrund seiner herausragenden Eigenschaften gerne für Schlagwerkzeuge mit Stiel verwendet. Es zeichnet sich durch eine hohe Festigkeit, Elastizität und Stoßdämpfung aus. Diese Kombination macht Hickory besonders widerstandsfähig gegenüber Stößen und Vibrationen, was die Langlebigkeit und Effizienz der Schlagwerkzeuge erhöht.
A striking tool with a hickory handle offers several advantages. The high density and toughness of hickory wood provides better shock absorption and reduces fatigue. The flexibility of the material also minimises the risk of breakage or splintering, increasing safety during use. Hickory is also light and well balanced, which improves the handling and control of the tool.
To maximise the service life of a striking tool with hickory handle, there are a few care instructions that should be followed. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent mould formation. If the handle has become worn during use, it can be smoothed again by light sanding. Oil the handle occasionally to protect the wood and preserve its natural beauty. Avoid excessive exposure to moisture and direct sunlight to minimise potential damage.Um die Lebensdauer eines Schlagwerkzeugs mit einem Hickory-Stiel zu maximieren, sollte man einige Pflegehinweise beachten. Lagern Sie das Werkzeug an einem trockenen Ort, um Schimmelbildung zu verhindern. Falls der Stiel durch Gebrauch abgenutzt ist, kann er durch leichtes Abschleifen wieder geglättet werden. Ölen Sie den Stiel gelegentlich, um das Holz zu schützen und seine natürliche Schönheit zu bewahren. Vermeiden Sie übermäßige Einwirkung von Feuchtigkeit und direkter Sonneneinstrahlung, um mögliche Schäden zu minimieren.
