Red Concrete Shovel with Step and Extra Hardened Blade
Concrete shovel ATLAS DIAMANT with 1/2 bent socket, blade size 0 and straight edge. Delivered without handle. The red lacquered blade is extra hardened and has a smoothly polished cutting edge. The round step provides a good grip and prevents footwear from being damaged.
This concrete shovel is often used by paving contractors, infrastructure companies, and landscapers. Thanks to the straight front edge of the ATLAS DIAMANT concrete shovel, it can be used perfectly for leveling or scraping flat a sand bed or trench.
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 spade 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 stands almost straight on the blade
1/4: the socket is bent up 35 mm, for example for digging shovels
1/2: the socket is bent up 55 mm, for example for scoop shovels and concrete shovels
3/4: the socket is bent up 70 mm, for example with scoop shovels and drain 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
