Scoop shovel ATLAS 3/4 00 hardened, clear lacquered, without handle

Scoop shovel or sand shovel ATLAS Dutch model with socket position 3/4 bent and blade size 00, is supplied without handle.

The socket angle indicates the angle relative to the blade. The higher the socket angle, the more slanted the socket is. This determines whether a shovel or spade is designed for thrusting or for scooping. The socket angle is measured from the ground to the socket when the blade lies flat on the ground.

Straight: the handle sits 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 on scoop shovels and digging shovels

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 size specifications were introduced.
