Source for low cost wooden handles

We make and sell brazing pokey sticks. Basically they are a 7” or so of a material withlow thermal conductivity and high heat resistance such as Normally, fused quartz,graphite and similar.

They are used to move parts during brazing at approximately1500 F in an induction coil, oxy-acetylene torch and similar.

We have a heck of a time finding simple wooden handles (seeattached, please.) that we can buy by dozens, 50’s or something similar.

I can find a couple here and there. I can find a manufacturer. Grainger is very expensive.

Wondered if anyone a source. The holes in file handles are toobig. We need something with a chuck ora hole suitable for a 3/16” or ¼” rod.


Thanks,
Tom

They look like wooden file handles which can be bought for $1-$2. Maybe less in quantity. Oops just saw that the hole was too big in file handles---look for needle file handles or plug the too large hole with a small dowel and drill the size you want.

Or find out who is manufacturing the wooden file handles and ask them to make a run for you with either the correct size hole or no hole at all.
