Garant Snow Shovel

It is designed as a hybrid, so it handles both tasks effectively. The 18-inch blade is wide enough to push light snow off walkways, but the scoop shape allows you to lift and toss heavier drifts when needed.

No, the handle length is fixed at 51 inches. This length is generally standard for most users, providing a balance between leverage for lifting and reach for pushing.

Polypropylene is chosen specifically for its durability and flexibility in freezing conditions. While it is robust, it is still a plastic material, so it is best to avoid using it to chip away at thick, solid ice sheets, which could cause stress fractures.

While the exact weight can vary slightly, the use of a poly blade makes this shovel significantly lighter than metal-bladed alternatives. This lightweight construction helps reduce fatigue during longer clearing sessions.

You can, but be mindful of your technique. Because the blade is made of poly, it is less likely to catch on gravel than a sharp metal edge, but you should still keep the blade slightly angled to avoid scooping up loose stones.
