Shovel - what it is?

A shovel is a miniature form of shovel, used primarily for earthworks. It has a much smaller head and a shorter handle than a traditional spade or shovel. Known for many years, the shovel was used by the military both as an instrument for digging mines and as a white weapon. Moreover, it was even used in ancient times. Currently, it is a common piece of equipment for amateur survivalists or scouts. In addition, the shovel is used during work in the garden, and some people treat it as an essential piece of car equipment, making it easier to dig out if the wheels get stuck. Its folding version, which can be easily transported from place to place, is very popular. We also distinguish between detachable, telescopic shovels - with a pull-out handle - and those equipped with a fixed handle. Thanks to its compact size, the shovel fits in a backpack and often attaches to the belt as well. Usually the kit additionally includes a carrying case for convenient and safe transportation.

The name of the shovel - where it actually came from?

The shovel derives its name from the engineering troops, commonly called sappers. Sappers often just reach for this small instrument, taking advantage of its ability to break through even extremely hard soil. It was the use of the tool by sappers that popularized the name of the shovel. In the army, shovels were already used during World War I. However, there are theories that "shovel" is also related to the Latin word sappa, meaning a variety of pickaxe or hoe.
