Pickaxe Handle MEGA 900 mm for 1500 g Head (model 12918)

Replacement wooden handle designed by MEGA for use with a 1500 g pickaxe head. The handle is 900 mm long and shaped to provide appropriate leverage and control for swinging a heavy pickaxe. It is intended as a direct replacement for worn or broken handles or for assembling a new tool, offering a traditional wooden grip suitable for digging, breaking compacted soil and rocky ground, and general manual groundworks.

Advantages

The wooden shaft provides a balance of strength and shock absorption to reduce vibration transfer during use. At 900 mm length it delivers improved leverage for penetrating compacted surfaces while remaining short enough for controlled swings in confined spaces. The handle is shaped and finished to facilitate secure fitting of a 1500 g pickaxe head and to allow reliable, repeatable use when maintained properly.

Suitable for

• Replacing a worn or damaged pickaxe handle
• Assembling a 1500 g pickaxe for digging and breaking soil
• Manual groundworks in gardens, construction sites, and landscaping
• Work where controlled short-to-medium swings are required

Key specifications

• Material: wooden handle
• Overall length: 900 mm
• Designed for use with 1500 g pickaxe heads
• Ergonomic shaping for secure head fitting and grip
• Intended for manual digging, breaking and ground preparation

How to use

Fit the pickaxe head onto the tapered end of the handle, ensuring proper seating and alignment before securing with wedges or an appropriate fastening method. Check that the head is tight and does not shift; trim or adjust the handle end if necessary to achieve a secure fit. Use the pickaxe with controlled swings, keeping a firm two-handed grip and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Periodically inspect the handle for cracks, splinters or loosening where the head is fitted, and repair or replace the handle if damage is detected.

Usage recommendations

Store the handle in a dry, ventilated area to avoid moisture absorption and swelling. Treat the wooden surface with an appropriate protective oil or finish to extend service life, and regularly sand any splintered areas to maintain a safe grip.
