Scoop shovel ATLAS DIAMANT 3/4 no. 5, Frankfurter model, without handle

Scoop shovel ATLAS DIAMANT Frankfurter model with socket position 3/4 bent, blade size 5, red lacquered version of extra hardened steel, with rounded pointed tip, polished edge and upturned back. Delivered without handle.

The Frankfurter shovel is in high demand on the German market and is widely used by gardeners and in earthworks, road or water construction. Because of its shape this shovel is suitable for digging in firm and rocky soils. Thanks to the polished edge the shovel moves smoothly through the soil and the scooped-up material releases easily. Thanks to the upturned back the scooped-up material remains well on the blade.

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 into the ground or for scooping. The socket angle is measured from the ground up to the socket, with the blade lying flat on the ground.

Straight: the handle is 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
