Deadman Handles
Deadman handles are mission-critical for safe and controlled abrasive blasting. This category features a professional-grade selection of pneumatic and electric deadman handles, retrofit kits, and safety upgrades designed to stop blasting operations instantly when needed. Whether you’re replacing a worn-out handle, upgrading from a bleeder-style system, or outfitting a new blast rig, these deadman control solutions offer reliable, hands-on control for industrial and commercial blasting jobs.
Use these parts with Schmidt, Clemco, and compatible remote systems to meet jobsite safety standards and keep your crew protected during high-pressure blasting.

The latest innovation in deadman safety technology from Axxiom is the BAABS (Blasting Accessories and Assist Bracket System). Intended to be the safest deadman on the market, it mechanically prevents inadvertent activation. The Schmidt BAABS deadman is such a leap forward in safety technology that Axxiom provides them as standard equipment with most new blast pot or valve retrofit purchases.* All BAABS use the Axxiom G3 trigger deadman configurable as either electric or pneumatic. All BAABS units are capable of being fitted with the BAABS blast light for improved vision in dim or dusty environments. (Note: When the light is used with the Subcompact BAABS, there is not room for the thrust brace.) *The standard configuration provided with new equipment is the Compact size. See Product Description tab for all size options. -

Choosing the right deadman handle can make a major difference in operator comfort and system compatibility. For example, the Schmidt G2 series offers low-effort actuation for long shifts, while retrofit kits simplify system upgrades with matched hoses and valves. Always match the deadman handle type—bleeder or non-bleeder—to your pot and valve setup, especially when working with Combo or Thompson Valves.
