Round point, square point or scoop

Blade shape matches the job. A round-point shovel has a pointed tip that bites into hard or compacted ground and is the general digging choice. A square-point shovel has a flat edge for scraping, trimming trench walls and lifting loose material off hard surfaces. A scoop shovel has a deep, wide blade for moving grain, gravel, mulch and similar loose material. Handle length matters as well: a long handle gives leverage and reach, a short D-grip handle gives control in tight spots, and folding or mini shovels suit a vehicle or a camp kit.

Non-sparking and corrosion-resistant blades

Ordinary steel shovels can strike sparks on concrete or steel, which is a hazard around flammable vapors, dust or fuel. Non-sparking shovels use bronze or aluminum blades for those settings, and corrosion-resistant versions suit damp or chemical environments. These are specialist tools, so read the product type before choosing one. For garden digging, steel blades are best, while a fiberglass handle resists weather and breakage. Snow shovels use wide, light blades for pushing and lifting, not digging.

Questions about Shovels, Spades and Trowels

What does non-sparking mean on a shovel?
The blade is made from a softer metal such as bronze or aluminum that is far less likely to throw sparks when it strikes concrete or steel. It is used where flammable vapors or dust could ignite. These blades are softer than steel, so they dent and wear sooner.
Should I buy a round-point or square-point shovel?
Round point for digging holes and breaking into hard soil; square point for cleaning trench bottoms, edging beds and shoveling loose material from a flat surface. If you only want one general digging shovel, choose round point.
Is a long or short handle better?
Long handles, around 48 inches or more, give leverage and let you work standing upright for digging. Short D-grip handles, around 27 to 30 inches, give control for edging, planting and tight spots. Pick based on the job and your height.
