ABSTRACT:
A process for manufacturing a shovel includes the steps of stamping a substantially flat shovel blade from sheet metal stock, attaching a molded composite handle adapter to the shovel blade, and fastening a tool handle to the handle adapter. The resultant shovel includes a shovel blade having a platform on an upper surface thereof and a foot tread extending the width of a rear edge of the blade, and a handle securely fixed to the blade via the handle adapter. The handle adapter has an enlarged base at a first end thereof seated on the platform of the blade, a handle receiving socket at a second end thereof, and an angular intermediate portion. A connecting stud has a first end embedded in the intermediate portion of the handle adapter, and a second end which extends into the handle receiving socket. The tool handle has an end secured within the handle receiving socket such that the second end of the connecting stud is embedded therein.
