What is a "square point shovel"?

The flat blade design allows for better control when scooping and transferring material, making it ideal for tasks that require a more precise edge, such as digging straight edges or leveling surfaces. Square point shovels are commonly used in gardening, landscaping, and construction work, where accuracy and efficiency are important.
