Types Of Shovels
Types of shovels
A spade is shorter and has a flat blade, while a shovel is longer, angled, and its blade is curved into more of a scoop. Shovels are better for digging up, breaking apart, and lifting soil as well as for scooping and moving loose materials.
What kind of shovel is a spade?
A spade is a tool primarily for digging consisting of a long handle and blade, typically with the blade narrower and flatter than the common shovel. Early spades were made of riven wood or of animal bones (often shoulder blades).
How do I identify a shovel?
A shovel has a broader blade that is curved inwards from left to right and is rounded or pointed at the tip. Blade length and shape can vary, depending on the intended use – you'll find shovels with extra long blades, saw-tooth edges, and ledges down the sides.
