Drents model shovel with polished blade and extra double-bent Blijham shovel handle.
Digging shovel ATLAS DIAMANT, Drents model with socket angle 1/4 bent and blade size 00, complete with extra double-bent ATLAS Blijham shovel handle in length 110 cm, equipped with a through-mount T-grip. The polished blade is hardened, has a sharp edge and a flat underside.
Thanks to the extra double-bent Blijham shovel handle, the blade lies nicely flat on the ground. This ATLAS DIAMANT shovel is therefore ideal for leveling and cutting flat a sand bed or excavation bed.
The ATLAS Blijham shovel handle is made from ash wood rootstock, which contains the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing, and strong. The ash wood has been computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. As a result, the handle does not shrink, the tool stays firmly attached to the handle, and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple. In addition, the ATLAS handle is waxed with the plant-based Carnauba, which provides a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping to prevent blisters.
Explanation of socket angle
The socket angle indicates the angle relative to the blade. The higher the socket angle, the more angled the socket is. This determines whether a shovel or shovel is designed for digging or scooping. The socket angle is measured from the ground to the socket when the blade lies flat on the ground.
Straight: the handle is almost straight on the blade
1/4: the socket is bent 35 mm, for example for digging shovels
1/2: the socket is bent 55 mm, for example for scoop shovels and concrete shovels
3/4: the socket is bent 70cm, for example for scoop shovels and deep shovels
Explanation of blade width
In the past, there were blade widths ranging from number 2 down to 0, with 2 being the largest. Over time, the blades had to become smaller because of working conditions, and smaller sizes were introduced.
The blade sizes for shovels and spades, from large to small, are: 2 – 1 – 0 – 00 – 000
