Abstract: A manually operable shovel for efficiently moving material, including a shovel blade, a shovel handle, a threaded joint for attaching the shovel blade to a pivotal collar which attaches the shovel handle shaft to a shovel blade joint, by means of a pressure fit socket interconnected to a support articulation device permanently affixed to the shovel blade, cooperating with the support member for positioning the blade to a pre-determined fixed angle relative to the direction of the blade movement, attaching the shovel handle shaft to the respective fixed angle settings by pressure fit sockets oriented generally at the respective handle/blade junction. The pivotal collar cooperates with the shovel handle shaft to allow the shovel handle to angularly swivel as required to lock the pre-determined pressure fit sockets located at the lower span of the sides and center of the shovel blade relative to the axis of the upper support articulation device securing the handle.
