Let's talk Snow Shovels Original Message Jan 1, 2011 10:11 pm
What's in your stash and what works....
I ended up mailordering a couple as the ones I wanted - were not available locally.
I've got a wood handle / alum. grain scoop style with 48" handle length Wood handle, steel blade pusher - 24" Wood handle, alum blade with steel edge shoveler Wood handle, POLY shoveler/pusher (dedicated for IPE deck)
2nd year back in the Northeast.. Needed to used ice scraper to break EOD, and a combo of my Corona steel *garden* digging trowel to break things up......
The local poly stuff that is available just pretty much broke on me. Blade cracked on one. The plastic handle on the either just bent in half as I lifted a heavy wet load.....
No one seems to carry anything good with wood handles, metal and or wood D ring ends, etc so I ended up mailordering this stuff.....
