Foldable shovels

— as the name implies, such a shovel can be folded by reducing its dimensions — usually by turning the canvas 180 °, blade up. It can be more convenient to store and transport the tool folded than in the working position — not only because of the reduction in size, but also because it reduces the likelihood of damaging nearby objects with the blade. At the same time, we note that in fact the foldable design is relevant only for tourist / automobile models. This is due to the fact that, in a full-sized construction / garden shovel, the reduction in size when folding would be negligible — despite the fact that the folding mechanism itself complicates and increases the cost of the tool, making it less durable.
