A spade is designed to be used for digging into hard soil. A shovel is used exactly as the name suggests, to scoop-up or shovel loose material such as dirt. Modern tool makers sometimes sell spades that have handles created in the shape of the letter D. This can signify that the spade was also created to be doubled as a shovel as well. Ideally, the spade or shovel you choose should be made from forged metal Pressed metal tools are a cheaper option, but they will bend more readily.

Garden tools can be classified into two types: common tools and specialty tools that serve a specific purpose. The materials your tools are made of should also be a consideration for durability.
