The 4-in-1 shovel expands the functionality of a regular shovel with a practical addition. It allows you to not only dig, but also grab and hold logs, branches, brush, and other debris. You can also use the shovel for leveling: simply lift the front of the shovel to move the material as needed. Slightly opening the shovel allows you to smooth the material more effectively. As you move the material, it is automatically leveled and smoothed out.
