Shovel

tools · digging · history

Made from tough stuff. Shovel blades are usually made of sheet steel or hard plastic to be super strong, while handles are made of wood or fiberglass so they don't break when you're digging.

Designed for bulk work. Shovels are perfect for moving large amounts of loose materials like soil, coal, gravel, snow, sand, and ore from one place to another.

Simple hand tool. Most shovels are hand tools with just a broad blade fixed to a medium-length handle, making them easy to use without needing electricity or machines.

Built to last. Because shovel blades and handles are made from very strong materials, they can handle years of hard work without falling apart.
