There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It worked well enough in soo many ways, we got another.
After the first use with a major storm last season, I tried to buy another, and the local stores were out, so ordered a 2nd one via amazon.
Both have now been use for 2 complete snow seasons, and we got a lot of snow for both seasons.
We have spots where we can't shovel snow immediately to, and have to either make piles of small shovel loads and snow blow the piles away, or as this shovel allows you to do...easily scope and either drag behind you or "plow" in front of you a good size pile to another spot.
Even with the wet heavy snow, get a load into the shovel, don't pick up the shovel, just rock it back a bit and drag the load away.
For digging and lifting large loads of the light stuff, the different lower handles let you find a position that helps not to cause you to use your back to lift.
Also has a great spot to put your foot onto to help dig the edge into the deep snow banks.
Once you break off a chunk of snow bank, get it in the scope of the shovel and drag it away.
Eventually all the dragging is going to wear the plastic body thin, and weak.
The plastic is very thick, so I doubt it will happen any time soon.
So when / if it does, it won't bother me , I won't hold it against it.
I don't feel / see places in the plastic body where it's flexing under load, so I don't think the body is going to break , at it's designed thickness.
I've broken every other snow shovel I've owned in one way or another over the years in a few seasons, it's not been a case of wearing them out, they've broken and I've just thrown them out.
Many of the ergonomic bent handle designs work well for saving the back, but each and everyone of them I eventually snap at one of the bends on the handle shaft.
The two True Temper SnoBoss Poly shovels I have are slightly different (and I can't remember which one I got where):
-One has a wrap around front edge protector, like a U shape, and seems to have dimples in/thru from one side to another to attach/hold it to the front edge of the plastic. These dimples are very well recessed and aren't wearing out.
Seems you'd really have to just wear thru one side of the metal protect to get to where it's down to the dimple and the blade wont stay on.
The U shaped metal protector doesn't scrape that well for the final cleaning down to the pavement.
-The other one has a single blade of steal and it's riveted to the bottom of the plastic front edge of the body. Well done, good size rivets , but this season the bottom wore enough that the heads of the rivets wore off on some, and this single edge of metal was half hanging off the shovel.
This single edge of metal is a much better "scraper" of the pavement than the U protector is. But when you scrap with it , it wears the rivet heads down compared to just shoveling.
I found some very large headed pop rivets, and used a washer on the top side (the plastic of the shovel).
It worked well, the top side where the pop rivet shaft forms into a much room doesn't impede getting the snow off the shovel.
Normally I don't fix a snow shovel, once broken I toss it.
But the rest of the shovel and this protect blade seem to have a lot of life left in them, So pop riveting the blade back on seemed to make sense. I'm sure my rivets will last longer than the OEM ones, and a box of 'em was 15 bux, so I have a lot more to use if mine do wear out before the shovel and blade does.
I'd guess the two are different 'cause the manufacturer was trying to find a way to solve the rivet problem??
If I couldn't fix it, and didn't see possible evidence of the manufacturer attempting to fix a small design fault, I'd probably give it only 2-3 stars.
But since :
- I can fix it easily
- It seems they may have attempted a fix
- We do find both versions very useful, and the first we bought soo useful we bought the second.
- And it seems the rest is well designed form/function and strong...
I'll give it 5 stars.
Luckily, I did make this purchase, because sure enough, we did get more snow. Nothing over a few inches, but so far, I am very pleased. And as a life-long New Englander, I think I have pretty high standards for snow shovels!
First, the blade is nicely curved, so the snow gets scooped into the blade as you push it along the ground. What I especially like is that you can scoop a good amount of snow in one push.
Second, the steel wear strip works great. It makes for smooth movement over my driveway, and I can clear the snow right down to the blacktop.
Third, the shovel is not too heavy. We literally have a 4-to-5-foot snow bank on either side of our driveway because of all the accumulated snow this season. I wouldn't say it's "easy", but I am able to use this shovel to throw snow over the tops of the snow banks. (I am a 5' 6" female, not especially fit, but not exactly out of shape either. Manually shoveling snow is probably the most exercise I get all year!)
This product boasts a "unique VersaGrip" handle which is kind of hard to see in the product photo, but basically, there's a bend in the middle of the handle. So far, I haven't noticed it being especially comfortable on my hands or anything, but it doesn't bother me, either, so I think it's fine.
As I mentioned, I didn't get this shovel until the end of the snow season, so I don't know yet how sturdy this shovel will be under the weight of heavy, wet snow, or whether or not the steel wear strip will work effectively in helping to break up that layer of ice that sometimes builds up on the driveway. Still, I'm willing to give this product 5 stars now because it's doing a great job so far, and I suspect that it will hold up. I do tend to keep up on my reviews, so if I make any new discoveries in the coming winters, I'll be sure to update this review.
Now, I want to say, I'm big on online shopping, and I'm always careful to read reviews before making a purchase. This shovel surprised me because it looked really great, but at the time I bought it, there were only a handful of reviews. I jumped over to the web site of a major home improvement retail chain, and sure enough, they had dozens of reviews on this product - and all were positive. If there still aren't a ton of reviews here when you look at this product, try checking out reviews on other sites.
UPDATE 3/4/2015: Last night, we got a few inches of snow, then rain. That makes for a very wet, very heavy slush. This shovel felt sturdy under the weight, and held up fine.
The only negative is that snow freezes on the shovel due to aluminum being a metal. The only possible work around is to spray the shovel with olive oil. Plus, the end of the shovel bends/chips and gets dull over many uses. After the Winter or 2021, the shovel is still in good shape.
I highly recommend this aluminum snow shovel for your snow removal equipment.

Most other shovels on the market have all these ridiculous double handles and strangely curved baldes that just add weight and complexity without making the shovel better. This one is the simplest and best shovel available.
