Explanation of socket angle
The socket angle indicates the angle relative to the blade. The higher the socket angle, the more angled the socket. This determines whether a shovel or bats is designed for digging or scooping. The socket angle is measured from the ground to the socket, when the blade is lying flat on the ground.
Straight: the handle stands almost straight on the blade
1/4: the socket is bent upward 35 mm, for example for digging shovels
1/2: the socket is bent upward 55 mm, for example for scoop shovels and concrete shovels
3/4: the socket is bent upward 70 mm, for example with scoop shovels and cable shovels
