Explanation 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 is designed for digging 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 on the blade
1/4: the socket is bent 35 mm, for example for digging shovels
1/2: the socket is bent 55 mm, for example for scoop shovels and concrete shovels
3/4: the socket is bent 70cm, for example for scoop shovels and deep shovels

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

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