The difference between a shovel and a shovel

Sep 18, 2021

The difference between a shovel and a shovel:

1. Different shapes: The shape of the shovel is flat. The shape of the shovel is a round tip.

2. The function is different: because the shovel has a flat mouth, the relative area is relatively large, and when picking things up, it also picks up more things. But it cannot be used to dig things. Since the shovel has a sharp mouth, the relative area is relatively small, and when picking up things, it will pick up fewer things. But it can be used to dig things.

3. Different purposes: Shovel is mostly used for picking up things, turning soil, loading and unloading trucks, etc. Shovel is mostly used for digging soil, digging rivers, picking trenches, shoveling snow, etc.

Shovel: A flat, rectangular, semi-circular, pointed-headed configuration tool suitable for stepping into the ground with your feet, a hand tool consisting of a wide bucket or a slightly concave shovel body with a flat handle, and digging by hand or Throw materials.

Shovel: The shovel has a shoulder. The shovel is a direct-insertion farm tool for soil preparation. The earliest known shovel is wooden, and a wooden shovel was unearthed at the Hemudu site in Yuyao, Zhejiang. Most of the shovel unearthed in the Neolithic Age were made of stone, and some were made of bone. A bronze shovel appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, with a square ligust in the center of the shoulder, which can be used with a handle. Shovel appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was more common in the Warring States Period. Most of the shovel-handling pottery figurines unearthed from the tombs of the Han Dynasty in Sichuan, the shovel shoulders are wide and flat, resembling modern shovel-shovels.


The general size of the commonly used shovel is about 1.3 meters.

Shovel is an agricultural tool used for digging, shoveling or leveling the ground. The long handle is mostly wooden and the head is iron. It can also be used for military purposes.

There are two types: flat head and pointed head:

1. A configuration tool with a flat rectangular semi-circular pointed tip suitable for stepping into the ground with a foot.

2. A hand tool consisting of a wide bucket or a slightly concave shovel body with a flat handle to dig or throw materials (such as soil, coal, grain) by hand.
