Abstract

A shovelling tool has a flexible portion at the base of the handle that helps prevent the risk of injury when shovelling by absorbing the initial shock when digging or by adjusting gradually to a different load when shovelling.
This tool, which is preferably telescopic, is particularly useful for removing snow and ice.
