Plastic Shovel
Starter · Free
Plastic Shovel is your free starting shovel. It gets you through the earliest digs, but at Power 1 it will be refused on heavier, rarer spots. Upgrade when the game tells you your shovel is too weak.
Stats
Strength of the tool. For shovels, higher power digs faster and breaks into heavier spots; for sprays, it cleans faster.
Bonus to your movement speed, so you cover ground between digs faster.

How this fits the loop
Dig power decides whether you can break into the heavier, rarer spots. Buy a stronger shovel the moment a dig is refused — see the gear upgrade guide.
