Our magnesium asphalt lutes have the strength and spring of steel and yet are one third lighter than aluminum. The bar is joined to the handle with a heavy-duty casting that creates a rigid connection superior to weaker braced connections. The lute bar's serrated edge is formed with slightly blunted points and rounded notches to permit material to pass through without jamming. The ANSI red safety caps signify danger or alert people ensuring additional safety for lute operators. Bars are available in three formats and handles are available in lengths ranging 6' to 8'4" and are also available in fiberglass.
