FAQs

What type of wood is this handle made from?

This handle is crafted from high-quality European Ash wood.

What is the length and weight of this handle?

The handle measures 410 mm in length and weighs approximately 240 g.

Does this handle come with a wedge?

This product is for the handle only. A wedge for securing the handle in the tool head may need to be purchased separately or is assumed to be available with the tool head.

Is this handle compatible with brands other than Ochsenkopf?

While primarily designed for Ochsenkopf tools, it may fit other tools with compatible head eye dimensions. It's recommended to verify your tool's specifications against the handle's dimensions.

What does meeting DIN 68340 standards mean?

Meeting DIN 68340 standards indicates that the handle complies with specific German (Deutsches Institut für Normung) quality and safety regulations for tools and their components, ensuring a certain level of performance and reliability.

How should I care for the ash handle?

Clean with a damp cloth, avoid prolonged moisture exposure, and store in a dry place. Periodically check and maintain the wedge for a secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose in the tool head.

Re-wedge the handle. Remove the old wedge, check the slot for debris, and insert a new, appropriately sized wedge. Hammer it firmly to secure the handle.

Wood is showing small cracks.

Minor superficial cracks may appear due to natural wood characteristics and environmental changes. Ensure the tool is stored in a stable, dry environment. For significant cracks that compromise safety, the handle should be replaced.

Handle is difficult to fit into the tool head.

Ensure the tool head eye is clean and free of debris. You may need to carefully shave small amounts of wood from the handle tip for a snug fit, but avoid removing too much material. Test the fit frequently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Remove Old Handle: Carefully remove the old handle from the tool head. This may involve drilling out wedges or cutting away residual handle material.
  2. Prepare Tool Head: Clean the eye of the tool head to ensure a snug fit for the new handle. Remove any rust or debris.
  3. Fit New Handle: Insert the new handle into the tool head. Ensure it is seated firmly and sits flush.
  4. Secure Handle: Fit a wedge (often sold separately or may be included with some tool heads) into the slot at the top of the handle to secure it within the tool head. Hammer the wedge firmly until the handle is tightly secured.
  5. Trim Handle (if necessary): If the handle is too long, carefully trim it to the desired length.

Compatibility:

This handle is designed as a spare for Ochsenkopf forestry hatchets and other compatible tools that share the same head eye dimensions. Always verify the eye size of your tool head matches the dimensions of this handle's top section before purchase. It is designed to meet DIN 68340 standards, suggesting compatibility with tools adhering to similar specifications.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the handle with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid soaking the wood in water.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the tightness of the handle in the tool head. Re-wedge if necessary.
  • Storage: Store tools with this handle in a dry environment to prevent the wood from drying out or absorbing excessive moisture, which can lead to cracking or warping.
