Poor Metal Edge Strip Design
I love this snow shovel, but the edge strip is becoming wore down. Rivets are exposed on the bottom, and come in contact with the pavement, causing failure of the attachment points. The metal bar is also wearing away. I tried to install larger rivets, but they also failed. I feel that the metal scraper should be redesigned, and the rivet attachment points should be placed where they don't come in contact with the pavement. A groove on the front edge of the bar could overlap the plastic shovel edge, the metal scraper bar should be hardened steel. Since the wear problem appears to be consistent with other users, I feel that my suggestion will make your product better.

    Versatile Shovel!
    I needed a wide shovel blade to scoop up acorns and chestnuts in my yard. Perfect application in addition to one intended for (snow).

    Does the shoveling in a hurry compared to conventional shovels and doesn't strain your back. My last one was good for 4 winters. two inner handles help when leverage throwing, without back strain. Molded foot ledge to aid digging into compacted snow. Wide and deep for pushing snow up to 8 inches. Unless the snow is deeper, my snow thrower stays in the garage, especially if I have to clean the drive at 4 AM and not wake everyone up.

    Great snow pusher ! The old one was 6 years old pushed it over wet black top kinda wore it out. All on me should’ve stayed on snow , you can push the snow or pull it . I’m 68 yrs old in upstate NY it’s when you’re lifting snow you can have a heath risk.

    This shovel comes without the handle inserted in the shovel.There are burrs around the ends of both sides of the handle that insert into the shovel that make it impossible to do. I had to take a file and round the corners to remove the burrs and then sliding the handle into the shovel was okay. Also one end of the handle had the paint scraped off about 6" up on one side. I just happened to have primer and gray paint that matched perfect so I took care of it myself.

    My driveway is 175 yards from the garage to the mailbox. I shoveled that long sob by hand with this thing in about an hour. Who needs a gym membership?

    The product is lightweight, but sturdy, and works well, The blade is wider than a standard shovel, so you can push through lighter snowfall with ease, It is also light enough to make it easy to lift the heavy stuff , when necessary, The metal edge makes it easy to scrape ice off the steps and sidewalk. If you have to put up with ice, and snow, and general nasty winter weather, this tool makes it a little more bearable. :)

    We had one of these a few years ago that was great, this one, not so much. Doesn’t work nearly as well as our previous one. The metal strip does not make good contact with the concrete.

    Useless after one season
    Metal strip came off, also the shovel itself bows in the middle, making it completely usless now.

      What a poor design!!!!
      this is a horrible product!!!! do not buy. you will have more success tops the snow with fork than this shovel. The scraping blade is either catching in everything or leaving 0.5 inch packed snow. the handle is no better.... Handle is so slippery that you either nock your teeths off or broke your ribs... Im just guessing that this was design by teenager millennial living in Florida that never saw the snow.

        My favorite snow shovel design, with a few caveats. Good ergonomic design for pushing, & scooping snow. The wear-bar is a thin strip of mild steel (or aluminum) that is less robust than earlier models having a U-channel strip (either style can be bent if not careful). It remains too be seen if this model will also crack & break at the leading corners, as did the older models, courtesy of deck railing posts. This type of plastic is difficult, if not impossible, to repair. Otherwise, it’s a very good shovel.

        Best snow shovel I've found and the only one I buy. It is good ergonomically, scrapes right down to the surface, sturdy enough to use the convenient foot assist area to use leg power to scrape stubborn patches, holds a lot of snow, and can be used as a snow pusher. Why only 4 stars? It is somewhat pricey and only lasts a season or two of Michigan winters before the metal scraper bar or the rivets holding it on wear down enough that it stops working effectively. I wish the metal bar was replaceable, as the rest of the shovel comes through undamaged and has a lot of life left in it.

        Great for moving large amounts of snow. Once full, you can ride up on top like a sled to transport to the desired location, significantly reducing lifting.
