Anatomy of a shovel
Dig, scoop, transfer: just one tool with so many uses. The shovel is an essential tool that aids in completing a variety of projects in your yard, garden and around your home. But not all shovels are made the same. Shovels actually have three different parts: a handle, a shaft and a blade or scoop. These parts are designed and combined in specific ways to help you complete your projects faster – with less body strain – all while supporting the longevity of the tool for long-lasting use.
