Default fix a shovel

I have two shovels. One with a broken handle and another one with a
badly bent spade. I was thinking I could just remove the wood left in
the one and use the handle of the other one on it. The question I
have is what do they use to attach the spade part of the shovel to the
handle. Is it a rivet? Would I just shear off the heads on both sides
to remove the remains of the handle? Then what is the best way to
attach the other handle to it? I already bought another one, but with
the parts I have sitting around it seems like I could easily have
another one. A man can't have enough shovels after all. Oh and btw
the one with the badly bent spade has an unbreakable handle and I
tried to break it but the spade bent instead.
