Abstract
A light emitting shovel assembly includes a shovel that has a shaft, a bucket that is coupled to the shaft and a handle that is removably coupled to a distal end of the shaft. The bucket is comprised of a translucent material for to passing light therethrough. A handle roller is rotatably coupled to the handle and the handle can be gripped. A shaft roller is rotatably positioned around the shaft and the shaft roller can be gripped. A handle heating coil is integrated into the handle roller to warm the user'"'"'s hand and a shaft heating coil is integrated into the shaft roller to warm the user'"'"'s hand. A shaft light emitter is coupled to the shaft to illuminate a work area with respect to the bucket. A bucket light emitter is coupled to the bucket and an auxiliary light emitter is coupled to the shaft.
