Shovels & Digging

Shovels are indispensable tools in construction, landscaping, and excavation, coming in various shapes and sizes designed for specific tasks. Ohio Power Tool offers a selection of shovels to meet different project needs. One of the most common types is the round point shovel, characterized by its rounded, slightly pointed blade. This shovel is versatile and primarily used for digging, lifting, and moving loose materials such as soil, gravel, or sand. Its design allows for easy penetration into the ground, making it ideal for tasks like digging holes for foundations, planting, or trenching for utilities. The round point shovel is a staple on nearly any construction site due to its utility in preparing and clearing land. Another specialized type is the square point shovel, which features a flat tip and a squared-off blade. This shovel is designed for scooping, transferring, and leveling materials rather than digging. It's particularly useful for moving loose materials over hard surfaces, clearing debris, and for precision work where a clean, straight edge is needed. Square point shovels are often used to scoop and spread materials like asphalt, stone, or for fine grading and leveling of surfaces before paving or laying sod. Their flat design makes them excellent for scooping up materials without spilling, providing efficiency and neatness in material handling tasks. Trenching shovels, with their narrow blade and sharp point, are designed specifically for digging and clearing trenches. These shovels are indispensable for installing irrigation, plumbing, or electrical lines, offering a targeted approach to digging that minimizes disruption to the surrounding area. The long, narrow blade allows for the creation of deep, narrow trenches, making it easier to lay pipes or cables with precision. Trenching shovels are valued for their ability to dig deep into the earth with minimal effort, streamlining the installation process for underground utilities. Ohio Power Tool's assortment of shovels ensures that construction professionals and landscapers have the right tools for their specific digging, scooping, and leveling needs, enhancing productivity and accuracy on the job site.
