A shovel having a blade and an elongated handle is provided between the ends thereof with a laterally extending enlargement. A resilient pad and cover are placed over and supported by the enlargement and handle. The supported pad acts as a fulcrum when placed on the user's thigh just above the knee. The loaded blade may then be raised by lowering the free handle end with one hand and when the blade is in a sufficiently raised position, the handle may be grasped with the other hand near the blade for carrying or discharging the load from the blade.
