ABSTRACT:
A shovel includes an elongated cylindrical shaft having a shovel blade removably secured by a pin and socket connection at a first end, and a first D-shaped hand grip at a second opposite end. A split cylindrical clamping collar includes a clamping screw for securing the collar at a selected position around the shaft. A lateral extension member is pivotally mounted to the clamping collar for movement about an axis which extends parallel to a longitudinal axis of the shaft. A second D-shaped hand grip is secured on a free end portion of the extension member. In use, an individual grasps one of the hand grips in each hand and rotates the first hand grip while holding the second hand grip secured to the lateral extension member stationary, to dump the contents of the shovel blade. The shovel handle construction is particularly adapted for use on snow shovels, and allows an individual to work with a minimum of effort and back strain.
