What is a "shovel"?
A shovel is a hand tool with a broad, flat blade and a long handle used for digging, lifting, and moving materials such as dirt, sand, snow, or gravel. The blade is typically made of metal and can come in various shapes, such as pointed or flat, depending on the task. Shovels are commonly used in gardening, construction, and outdoor activities. The handle is often made of wood or metal, providing leverage for the user to apply force when digging or scooping.
