Ash Shaft A very popular choice with contractors and tradesmen, timber selected for straightness of grain and then varnished or waxed for protection from the elements. Timber is specially chosen for its strength and then stored in ideal conditions before fitting to the tool head, Ash shafts are particularly reliable. Tubular Steel Shaft Tubular steel shafts are particularly popular with contractors working outside in the construction industry and also landscapers. These shafts are about 20% stronger* than Ash and will not warp or rot in damp conditions. Polyfibreglass Shaft Polyfibreglass shafts have a solid fibreglass core with tensioned fibres for strength with an abrasion resistant, hardwearing polypropylene sleeve. These shafts are about 30% stronger* than metal and do not warp, rot or rust, even in extremely wet conditions. They are fitted with a polypropylene ‘YD’ grip which is very durable and waterproof. Tubular Steel Shaft An Insulated shaft is designed to conform to BS8020:2011 for live working. Although this material is relatively expensive, it is essential for contractors working near live power sources. Long insulated handles are also available which meet the same standards and all insulated tools have a unique number etched onto them with a matching certificate of conformity.
