Remember this!
Excavator and shovel are both tools used for digging and moving materials. However, the difference between them is their size, power source, function, cost, and mobility. Excavators are large, heavy-duty machines powered by engines and used for construction, excavation, and demolition. Shovels, on the other hand, are smaller, manually operated tools used for gardening, farming, and snow removal.
