An irish shovel

A friend asked me to help him bring some sand "a full load" to the back of the property off the main road.
Geez this is where an Irish Shovel really kicks some butt compared to other shovels.....
But buying an irish type here is a bit like buying a pint of the black stuff "not quite the same" ???

Irish whats you interpretation of an Irish spade as there are a few variations as per google images, I have seen the spade cookie uses but thats different to the Irish spade with the 32" handle and a slim looking taper mouth spade shape
