ATLAS DIAMANT Holländer Sandschaufel ¾ 2 extra gehärtet, BLAU und POLIERT mit ATLAS Eschen Langstiel 130 cm,

Scoop shovel ATLAS DIAMANT Dutch model with socket angle 3/4 bent and blade size 2, delivered complete with ATLAS batsesteel 130 cm in length. The hardened blade is blue lacquered and has a bright polished, sharp cutting edge.

The ASH ATLAS batsesteel is made from ash rootstock, which contains 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 attached to the handle and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple. ATLAS handles are bent in boiling water. This causes the wood grain in the handle to bend with it and prevents the grain from running out of the handle. The bending process makes the handle extremely strong. In addition, the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based Carnauba which ensures a longer lifespan and a pleasantly smooth handle, preventing blisters.



Explanation socket angle
The socket angle indicates the angle relative to the blade. The higher the socket angle, the more the socket is angled. This determines whether a spade or shovel is designed for stabbing 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 up from 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 with scoop shovels and deep shovels

Explanation 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 become smaller due to working conditions and smaller sizes were introduced.

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