Hand tool shaft Gedore 8597960 Weight 373 g Package depth 230 mm Package height 50 mm

The Gedore 8597960 hand tool shaft is a wooden handle made from ash (E 600 E) or hickory (E 600 H) manufactured to DIN 5111 standards. It includes a hardened steel sleeve, a tapered collar, a fixing (safety) plate and a wood screw. The shaft enables conversion of compatible hammer heads that meet DIN specifications into a ROTBAND-PLUS hammer by fitting the handle into the head and securing it with the supplied fittings.

Advantages

The shaft is made from DIN 5111 specified ash or hickory for strength and shock resistance. A hardened steel sleeve protects the handle eye from wear, while the tapered collar ensures a tight fit inside the hammer head. The supplied fixing plate and wood screw provide additional safety to keep the head secured during use. Compact dimensions and a 373 g weight make the shaft suitable for hand tools where a balanced, robust handle is required.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Replacing or upgrading wooden hammer handles that conform to DIN 5111
• Converting standard hammer heads into ROTBAND-PLUS hammers
