Garant Alpine Snow Shovel

Yes, the poly blade is gentler than an all-metal shovel, but it does feature a steel wear strip. While this strip is great for scraping ice off concrete, you should use caution on delicate surfaces to avoid scratching.

Stained ash is a traditional choice for snow shovels because it offers excellent strength and shock resistance. It is more rigid than plastic or aluminum handles, making it a reliable option for lifting heavier, water-logged snow.

The 18-inch width is a versatile mid-size, designed to balance clearing capacity with maneuverability. It is wide enough to clear a path efficiently but narrow enough to handle steps and smaller walkways without feeling cumbersome.

This model is designed as a hybrid. The blade shape allows you to push snow effectively, while the scoop design and D-grip handle provide the leverage needed to lift and toss snow when necessary.

The shovel weighs 3.77 lbs, which is a standard weight for a wood-handled poly shovel. The Arctic Blast D-grip helps reduce hand fatigue by providing a secure, ergonomic hold that keeps your wrist in a natural position while clearing.
