ABSTRACT:
A quick change reversible shovel is disclosed. The shovel comprises a handle of a cylindrical cross-section and of an extended length having a lower attachment end and having an upper gripping end. The handle has a central axis which is linear over the majority of its length and a small bent portion at the first or attachment end. A grip is formed over the handle at the grip end for being held by a user. A blade in a generally rectangular configuration but with a symmetric curve is provided. The blade is thicker along a horizontal center line and comes to a point at the opposite upper and lower ends. The blade has curved side edges parallel with each other coupling the upper and lower edges at the blades. A pair of apertures is formed in the central extent of the blade along the horizontal center line. Attachment mechanism include a ring-like member positionable around the lower end of the handle with an opening. The opening is in contact with the rear face of the blade between the apertures. The ring then has a pair of outwardly extending flanges in a common plane parallel with the rear face of the shovel each with an aperture overlying the aperture of the blade.
