That was exactly I was about to post. Unfortunately, it's damn hard make these kind of designs to handle the hard-pressured situation, such as when we USE it.

looks great, but would never work as desired.
1. good luck getting a rigid enough attachment point for the different heads. the first rock you hit with the shovel the whole thing will start to loosen up on you.
2. plastic isnt durable enough for this. again, hit one rock and end up with a huge gouge in your shovel, youll break it soon enough.
3. aluminum isnt durable enough either. the leading edge would become trash very quickly and the entire thing would fatigue at the joint.

there’s a reason shovels and hoes are made out of wood and steel; there meant to get a job done, not look sleek.
@carl and @madcow. not a single part of this will ever be under tension. what matters here is the stiffness, compressive strengh, toughness, and wear characteristics of the material used…

This would probably only last a few minutes of actual hard work before falling completely apart.
