ATLAS DIAMANT Holländer Sandschaufel ¾ O extra gehärtet, BLAU und POLIERT mit ATLAS Blijham T-Stiel 100 cm

Sand shovel or bats Dutch model with polished edge and strongly bent Atlas gooseneck shovel handle.

Scoop shovel or sand shovel ATLAS DIAMANT Dutch model with socket setting 3/4 bent up and blade size 0, complete with strongly bent ATLAS gooseneck shovel handle length 100 cm. The hardened blade is blue lacquered and has a bright polished, sharp cutting edge.

The ATLAS gooseneck shovel handle is made from ash wood under-stems; these contain the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing and strong. The ash wood has been re-dried in a climate chamber under computer control. As a result, the handle does not shrink, tools remain firmly fastened to the handle, and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple.

Additionally, the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based Carnauba, which ensures a longer lifespan and a pleasantly smooth handle, thereby preventing blisters.

Explanation of socket angle
The socket angle indicates the angle relative to the blade. The higher the socket angle, the more slanted the socket. This determines whether a shovel or spade is designed for thrusting 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 in line with 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 on scoop shovels and deep shovels

Explanation of blade width
In the past there were blade widths that ran from number 2 down to 0, with 2 being the largest. Over time the blades had to be made smaller because of working conditions, and smaller sizes were introduced.

The blade sizes for shovels and spades are from largest to smallest: 2 – 1 – 0 – 00 – 000
