(More customer reviews)When I was a kid, my dad had this big, tall snow shovel with a gold-toned metal blade. I remember trying to use it a few times, but it was just too tall for me, but the interesting thing was that it was extremely light weight.
Many years later when I started doing property care, I was shopping for a snow shovel that I didn't have to bend over half way to the ground to use, and I found the same thing at a hardware store, only with a red blade. I bought it. I used it for a number of years, and it was perfect with a fairly large blade (but not too big) which was made of aluminum. It was quite tough, and useful. But then it got "lost" by someone, so I went looking for another.
All the stores have these whiz-bang plastic shovels and "back-savers" with bent handles, but they all require bending over to use effectively, at least at my 5'11" height. And everywhere I went and asked for an aluminum shovel all the clerks would hand me a grain scoop which has a way-too-big blade and an ineffective handle configuration for removing snow.
I gave up and came home, and did a search for snow shovel manufacturers on the internet. I found one by Garant that looked like the same model, but this time with a blue blade. I copied the part number, went to Amazon, pasted into the search box, and found one. I ordered it, and yes it is the same wood-handled, aluminum bladed shovel I wanted.
Maybe you think this is way too much over-thinking about a snow shovel, but when you have hundreds of feet of walks to shovel and a bad lower back, the right tool makes all the difference. Even if your back is fine, I recommend this shovel.
