A spade is a gardening tool used for digging, it has a flatter blade. A shovel has a wider blade that is slightly spoon shaped, its a multi task tool also used to move loose stuff like gravel.
Spades (there are many different types) are for digging.
Shovels are for moving dug stuff.
A spade is usually smaller and more rounded off at the end to dig with. A shovel is more wider and larger to pick up dirt and grass and what not.
A Spade has a flatter, smaller, and sharper head - for digging neatly and quicker.
A Shovel has a large, curved and heavier head - for scooping and lifting.
I don't know. They both work for me.

A spade is for digging, A shovel is for shovelling coal, sand , or anything you want.
