The ROTBAND-PLUS system
The ROTBAND-PLUS system is a special connection between the tool head and the wooden handle. It was developed to make handle attachment safer and more durable for heavily used striking and forestry tools. The system combines several coordinated components: the wooden handle, a long steel handle protection sleeve, a ring wedge, a locking plate and an additional bolted connection. Together, these components secure the head to the handle and protect the transition area against damage.
GEDORE: ROTBAND-PLUS for hammers
The ROTBAND-PLUS handle protection system gives GEDORE hammers an extra level of safety. The individual components — the handle protection sleeve, wedge and bolted connection — form an impact-resistant connection between the hammer head and handle, helping to prevent damage in the event of mis-hits. We explain the operating principle and the individual components in detail.
OCHSENKOPF: Safety for forestry tools
OCHSENKOPF axes, hatchets and splitting mauls are available with or without the ROTBAND-PLUS system. Consulting the tool glossary can help you decide whether a forestry tool with or without a handle protection system is right for you. We explain all the details and terminology relating to the OCHSENKOPF original.
