Digging Tools

A shovel is a tool that is used to dig, lift, and move materials such as soil, coal, or snow. It is typically made up of a pointed blade attached to a handle and is used for digging and scooping. Shovels come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each designed for a specific purpose. A spade, for example, is a shovel with a flat blade and a handle perpendicular to the blade that is used for digging and cutting through roots. A scoop shovel is a tool with a rounded blade that is used to move and scoop materials. When using a shovel, it is critical to use the correct type of shovel for the task at hand and to follow all safety precautions.
