Heritage

We turn our own handles.

Every Pro-Drive Fasteners® mallet handle is turned from 100% hickory wood stock on a 100-year-old lathe. It's the kind of detail most manufacturers skip and most contractors feel the first time they swing one.

When you control the material from the raw stock up, you control the quality all the way down.

100% Hickory
Pro-Drive Fasteners®'s in-house handle-turning shop — lathes and hickory handle blanks surrounded by wood shavings, where every mallet handle is turned
