Wrong. From Patent number: 5575315:

12. A method of filling a sandbag fabricated of flexible material, comprising
the steps of:

providing a shovel having:

(i) a scoop having a head region, a base region and two side edge
regions;
(ii) a non-tubular chute adjacent to said scoop for directing sand from
said scoop into a sandbag, said scoop and chute forming a shovel body;
(iii) a connector interconnecting said scoop and said chute to locate
said scoop adjacent said chute; and
(iv) a sandbag gripper mounted to said shovel body and releasably
connectable to the mouth of the sandbag to maintain the sandbag mouth in
sand-receiving relationship to said chute when releasably connected thereto;

providing a sandbag having a mouth;
inserting said chute into the mouth of the sandbag;
releasably connecting said sandbag gripper to the mouth of the sandbag to
maintain the container mouth in sand-receiving relationship to said chute;
scooping sand from a sand pile onto said scoop;
elevating said head region of said scoop above its base region such that the
sand moves from said scoop through the sandbag mouth and into the sandbag via
said chute; and
releasing the sandbag from said sandbag gripper.
