An implement you need to push at the right angle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shovel

'an implement' is the definition.
(shovel is a kind of implement)

'to push at the right angle' is the wordplay.
'to push' becomes 'shove' (shove is a kind of push).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the right angle' becomes 'L' (the shape of the letter is a right angle).
'shove'+'l'='SHOVEL'

'you need' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shovel that I've seen before include "Spade-like tool" , "Excavator" , "Digging implement" , "Scooper" , "Spade with a broad blade" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
