Spade Heavy Duty

A spade is a tool used for digging straight-edged holes or trenches, slicing and lifting sod, and edging flower beds or lawns. People often mistakenly use the word shovel interchangeably with spade but shovel is a generic term for a variety of tools that include numerous broad-bottomed versions for moving loose materials, such as a "coal shovel", "snow shovel", "grain shovel", etc.
