Abstract
A shovel is disclosed having a conventional shovel handle and yoke with the surface formed of flattened expanded metal. The flattened expanded metal is conventional and of the type that forms a grid of four sided diamond shaped openings having an elongate dimension and a short dimension. The flattened expanded metal is aligned parallel to the handle of the shovel and cut to a width and length sufficient to form the shovel body. The left and right edges as well as the top of the expanded metal are lined with straight bars to impart even and uninterrupted side edges and a foot hold top edge adjacent the yoke. The flattened metal forming the body of the shovel is given a conventional arcuate section and formed from metal having sufficient strength that all necessary support for the shovel surface is from the flattened metal. The front edges are cut to expose the elongate diamonds of the flattened expanded metal in a serrated configuration with at least the front serrated edge being hardened. There results a shovel like tool which at the serrated edges can be used for raking, weed trimming and the like in addition to having all of the regular advantages of a grid-like shovel.
