Apex 21526N Metal Ferruled Wooden Handle 4.875 in

Product Description

The APEX 21526N is a metal ferruled wooden handle designed for use with files, rasps, and similar hand tools commonly found in trade and workshop environments. Measuring 4.875 inches in overall length, this Type D handle is constructed from wood and features a metal ferrule that reinforces the neck, preventing splitting under pressure and extending service life. At 0.3 pounds, it is lightweight and balanced for extended hand use. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople use handles like this to retrofit or replace worn grips on compatible hand tools.

This handle is suited for residential and commercial trade work where file or rasp handle replacement is needed. The Type D designation indicates a specific taper and ferrule configuration compatible with standard tang-style hand tools. It is sold individually and is appropriate for any trade environment that maintains a working set of files, rasps, or similar tang-fitted cutting tools.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement handle for tang-fitted hand tools such as files and rasps that accept a Type D wooden handle configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand tool users and tradespeople and requires no power tools or special codes. Before seating the tang, inspect the ferrule to confirm it is fully seated on the handle. Drive the handle onto the tang using a controlled strike method against a solid surface, and never force an oversized tang into the handle bore. Ensure the tang is fully seated before applying tool pressure during use.
