— steel handles are usually combined with steel blades, while the handle is riveted or welded to the blade and is non-removable. The main advantage of this material over all the others is its high strength, which makes it optimal for heavy and long-term work. The weight of the tool, however, turns out to be considerable, but this can be both a disadvantage and an advantage (for example, a massive shovel pierces into dense earth more easily). But of the unambiguous shortcomings, one can name a higher cost than that of a tree, and the impossibility of replacing the cutting in case of breakage.Another area of application for steel handles is tourist and automobile shovels of a folding or telescopic design: for a number of reasons, this material is considered optimal for such a tool.
