A power assisted hand shovel includes a stationary blade that is configured to receive dirt and other material to be shoveled and to facilitate transport of the material away from the area being shoveled. A handle has a proximal end and a distal end which is attached to the stationary blade. A movable blade is disposed adjacent the stationary blade, and is configured to reciprocating linear motion relative to the stationary blade to impact the dirt and other material being shoveled. This facilitates receipt of the material by the stationary blade. An actuator is configured to cooperate with the movable blade to facilitate imparting a linear motion to the movable blade in at least one direction. This facilitates the impaction of the dirt and other material to be shoveled.
