Digging shovel Drents model 1/4 00 blank lacquered. Brand ATLAS. Basic quality. Brief explanation of size mark: 000 = small blade size, 00 = medium blade size, 0 = larger blade size, 1 = large blade size, because in the past blade sizes 1, 2, 3 were used and, when a smaller blade size was needed, it was decided to introduce a 0 after the 1, and when even smaller was needed, a 00 and 000 blade size. So the and do not have anything to do with the hardness (Rockwell) of the blade. Brief explanation of socket position: STRAIGHT on the blade means the handle is almost straight on the blade, D1/4: the socket is bent 35 cm and is often used with 00 & 000 digging shovels, D1/2: the socket is bent 55 cm and is often used with 0 scoop shovels and concrete shovels, D3/4: the socket is bent 70 cm and is also often used with 00, 0, 1 and 2 scoop shovels (sizes 1 and 2 are mainly used in Belgium). There is a huge combination possible with this blade and the Atlas Blijham handles, shovel handles, double bent handles and shovel handles assortment.
