Screeding shovel or paver’s shovel with extra double bent ATLAS handle.
Screeding shovel or paver’s shovel ATLAS DIAMANT with socket angle 1/2 bent up and blade size 000, complete with extra double bent Blijham shovel handle in a length of 110 cm, equipped with a through-mount T-grip. The polished blade is hardened, has a sharp cutting edge, and a flat underside. A screeding shovel is also known as a sand shovel.
Thanks to the combination of this blade with the extra double bent ATLAS handle, the handle rises nicely high, while the blade stays neatly flat on the ground or in the sand bed. This shovel is therefore ideal for pavers, civil engineering and infrastructure companies, bricklayers, and landscaping professionals.
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 is computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. As a result, the handle does not shrink, tools stay 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 plant-based Carnauba, which ensures a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping 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 screeding shovel is designed for digging or scooping. The socket angle is measured from the ground up 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 cm, 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 due to working conditions, and smaller sizes were introduced.
The blade sizes for shovels and shovels are from large to small: 2 – 1 – 0 – 00 – 000
