Pultruded Tool Handles
Strong Fiberglass Tool Handles
Teel Plastics supplies unique designs and properties in the manufacturing of its pultruded tool handles. Special materials are utilized to meet the requirements or to solve customer issues that they can’t find with other pultruders. We can manufacture pultruded tool handles in almost any size, wall thickness, color and shape that is required. We also provide many different custom finishing operations to include: drilling, slotting, assembly, routing, and gluing of tips and caps.

Bow or camber: .030” per foot from straight is standard, although a tighter tolerance is possible depending on part design.
Glass content: Percentage of fiberglass by weight will vary between 55 and 65%, depending on profile design.
