A detailed buying guide: how to choose a snow shovel.
Snow shovels and pushers are used to clear the yard, entrance, parking area, roof and pavement of snow and ice. This section includes wide plastic and aluminium shovels, wheeled snow pushers, ice choppers and folding shovels for the car. For large areas and frequent snowfall, an electric snow shovel is faster: how to choose an electric snow shovel.
A standard shovel lifts and throws snow, while a wide pusher moves it without lifting, which is easier on your back. For ice you need a chopper with a steel blade, and for the car a short folding shovel.
A plastic shovel is light and snow does not stick to it, while aluminium is stronger for wet and compacted snow. A metal wear strip protects the plastic from abrasion and scrapes icy surfaces better. About materials: hand tool materials, hardness, coatings and ergonomics.
A wide blade (50-80 cm) clears open areas quickly but becomes heavy with wet snow. Narrow shovels suit steps, paths and roofs. Choose the width according to the type of snow and your own strength.
A curved or ergonomic handle reduces bending, and a D-grip is comfortable with gloves on. An aluminium handle is light and does not rot, while wood is cheaper. For roofs there are pushers with extendable handles.
A wheeled pusher is handy for long driveways and parking areas where snow needs to be pushed to one side. Check the wheel size and make sure the wheels do not sink into loose snow.
Clear snow in small loads, do not twist your body with a heavy shovel, and take breaks. On icy surfaces wear non-slip footwear: how to choose safety footwear and protective rubber boots, and after the season dry the shovel and store it indoors: how to maintain, store and organize hand tools.
At ToolsArmenia you can choose a snow shovel or pusher by type, material, width and handle for the yard, entrance and car.
