Generally, the point of the shovel handle is not so much as a machine to amplify the force you exert, as it is simply a way of being able to reach the ground with a scooping device, without having to bend your spine too much in order to do it. There are times, however, such as when you use a shovel to dislodge a large rock, when you could use it as a lever.
