Anotations

Scope note:

Tools consisting of a broad blade or scoop used for taking up, removing, or throwing loose matter, such as earth, snow, or coal. Hand-operated shovels typically have the blade or scoop attached to a long handle. For long-bladed tools with shorter hafts and t-bars or handles to grasp, use "spades."
