Haydock's commentary
Shovels. Scutras may also signify "cauldrons," from their resemblance with a shield. These terms occur [in] Exodus xxvii. 3., (Calmet) and are there properly translated, shovels, &c. (Haydock)
The Jews say there were always, at least, three things of the same species, that one might be ready in case another was defiled.
