Silahtar Orthopedic Hammer Handle 100 gr

Silahtar Orthopedic Replacement Hammer Handle (100 gr);

This replacement handle is designed for light to medium-weight hammer heads, focusing on ergonomics and comfort. The term "Orthopedic" indicates that it prioritizes user health by reducing the strain on the hand and wrist during prolonged use. It is suitable for hammers weighing 100 grams. The lightness of the handle helps reduce the overall weight of the tool and increases control in delicate tasks (Note: this weight usually refers to the weight class of the head the handle will support).

Material Properties and Technical Details

The orthopedic structure of the handle is usually supported by special craftsmanship. Made from hornbeam wood, this handle offers the advantages of a natural material.

Handle Material (Hornbeam Wood): Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), commonly used for hammer handles, is a high-density and hard wood. This provides the necessary strength against impact shocks during hammering and minimizes the risk of the handle breaking.

Vibration Absorption: Natural wood absorbs impact vibrations better than synthetic materials, increasing user comfort.

Contoured Shape: The handle features swells and tapering to fit the user's hand grip, rather than just a turned round cross-section. This prevents slipping and helps keep the wrist in a neutral position, reducing tendon and joint strain.

Assembly: The part of the handle to be attached to the hammer head is shaped to fit perfectly into the metal head's eye. A steel or wooden wedge must be driven into the end of the handle to secure the head safely.
