This Faithfull MYD handle is designed for users of spades, forks, and shovels who require a durable and responsibly sourced replacement part. Its key benefit is the combination of high strength and lightweight construction, derived from FSC-certified Ash, ensuring longevity and comfortable use. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific bent taper design, which may not fit all tool heads without modification.

The handle is crafted from FSC-certified Ash wood, known for its strength and durability.
FSC certification means the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests that meet strict environmental, social, and economic standards.
This handle is designed for MYD pattern tool heads with a bent taper socket. While dimensions are standard, minor fitting adjustments may be needed for some tools.
The handle measures 710mm in length, with a 38mm shaft diameter and a 120mm grip size.
Clean with a damp cloth and avoid prolonged exposure to extreme weather. Applying a wood treatment can help maintain its condition.
Yes, the Ash construction provides high-level strength suitable for demanding tasks, provided it is securely fitted and the tool head is appropriate for the task.
The product information does not specify pre-drilled holes. You may need to drill pilot holes if you intend to secure the handle with screws.
Check if the taper dimensions match. If slightly loose, a thin wedge or securing the head with a screw may be necessary. If too tight, carefully shave a small amount from the taper of the handle or widen the tool head socket slightly.
This can occur due to dryness or impact. Ensure the handle is not left exposed to harsh weather. Apply a wood treatment or oil to condition the Ash. If significant cracking occurs, the handle may need replacement.
Verify that the handle is fully seated in the tool head and securely attached. Inspect the handle for any existing cracks or damage. If the handle is compromised, it should be replaced immediately to prevent failure.
Setup: To attach the Faithfull MYD Handle, ensure the taper of the handle aligns with the socket of your spade, fork, or shovel head. Gently tap the handle into the socket until it is fully seated. A secure fit is crucial for optimal performance and safety. In some cases, minor adjustments to the socket or taper may be necessary to achieve a tight fit.
Compatibility: This 28-inch bent taper handle is designed for use with standard MYD (Myrddin) pattern spade, fork, and shovel heads. Always check the dimensions (710mm length, 38mm shaft, 120mm grip) against your existing tool head's socket for the best match.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the Ash handle, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or direct sunlight. Clean the handle with a damp cloth as needed. Periodically check the security of the handle in the tool head and tighten if necessary. Applying a wood preserver or oil can further protect the material from drying out or cracking, especially if stored outdoors.
