Some Facts about Shovel Construction

Blade Lift is the vertical distance between the tip of the handle and ground level when the blade is resting flat on its back.  Blade lift varies from tool to tool according to its specific task.
 
Hollow Back shovels are made from a single piece of heat treated steel, producing a lighter weight shovel.
Closed Back shovels are constructed from one piece 16 gauge tempered steel with a seam welded pad over the back of the blade eliminating mud and dirt build-up on the shovel.
Solid Shank design puts more metal in critical shank area for greater strength.

Garden/Nursery Spade
