A scoop is a tool used for digging and scooping earth and sand.
A shovel is also sometimes called a shovel, but the JIS standard clearly distinguishes between the two. Specifically, a shovel is defined as a tool with a flat blade that can be pushed deeper into the soil by placing a foot on it, while a shovel is defined as a tool with a curved blade that cannot be placed on a foot and has a straight tip.
Scoops are used for agricultural and civil engineering work, as well as for gardening, digging up soil in the garden, and planting and transplanting garden plants. Another use is for mixing soil and fertilizer.
Scoops used for gardening and other gardening purposes are often small enough to be used with one hand. Therefore, shovels can be easily used for digging holes for planting seedlings or transplanting seedlings.
Scoops used for shoveling snow in areas where there is snowfall are called snow shovels. Scoops are also useful for shoveling ashes from a fire pit or fire pit, or for digging trenches.
Scoops can be used to dig up large amounts of soil at a time or to make just the right hole for planting saplings. Scoops also allow you to work without getting your hands dirty.
Scoops according to JIS standards are shaped in such a way that you cannot put your foot on the top of the blade, so you cannot dig with your body weight. Therefore, if you want to dig up a large area of soil, you should use a shovel that allows you to put your feet on top of the blade to reduce the burden on your arms.
A shovel with a pointed tip is called a sword-shaped shovel. Because the tip is pointed, the shovel can dig comfortably even on hard ground or ground covered with weeds and other roots. If the tip becomes rounded after long use, it can be brought back to sharpness by grinding.
A flat tip is called a square tip. Because of its large area, it is ideal for scooping and transporting large quantities of soil or other materials at a time. It is also useful for mixing soil and fertilizer.
A perforated type is a type with holes in it. They are useful for scooping wet soil, as water can fall out through the holes. Also, when carrying sticky soil, it is difficult for soil to remain in the scoop. Another advantage is that the holes are lightweight, which reduces fatigue from the work.
A shovel with an elongated vertical shape is called an empi. They are strong and can dig deep holes, making them suitable for planting saplings. Also, its long and narrow shape offers less resistance when digging in the soil, making it easier to dig a hole than other types.
Since there are many different types of Scoops, it is important to choose the right one for your purpose. A collapsible scoop is suitable if you want to use it on the go or keep it in your car at all times.
Scoops also vary in properties depending on the material they are made of. If strength is important, a stainless steel shovel is recommended; if lightness is important, an aluminum shovel is recommended; and if a plastic shovel is used for shoveling snow, a plastic shovel is recommended.
Scoops are mainly used to dig up the soil. In agricultural work, shovels are useful for tilling the soil, mixing in fertilizer, and planting saplings. Efficient work can be done by using a large scoop and a small one that can be used with one hand.
