The new
handles are made with VHME (very high modulus extrusion) utilizing Celestran® long fiber
materials to achieve a high strength core. The material gives the handle extra
stiffness and outstanding impact resistance. In addition to the non-conductivity aspect,
the handles have excellent UV resistance, good heat deflection and improved performance at
sub-zero temperatures. The new handles have the same dimension as Oshkosh’s
traditional wooden handled tools and can be produced in custom lengths. The
handles are produced in “safety yellow” for Oshkosh Tools and have proven to be
structurally more consistent than wood, which lowers the potential for injury due to
handle breaks. Products made with the new material include the Oshkosh Tools’ tamp
bars, digging spud, pike poles and the 2000 Series of shovels and spoons.
