Overview
An 18-inch combination poly blade paired with a 37.4-inch ergonomic handle on this 54-inch, steel-handled D-grip pusher, built to scoop and push snow off driveways, walkways and deck surfaces without a metal edge that could scratch them.
The combination blade shape is meant to let one tool both scoop loose snow and push through it, rather than switching between two shovels. A nylon strip along the blade edge is the design choice that avoids gouging decks, patios or other finished surfaces, at the cost of the aggressive bite a metal edge gives on packed ice.
- 18-inch combination blade
- 37.4-inch ergonomic handle, 54-inch total length
- Nylon wear strip protects deck and patio surfaces
- Oversized D-grip built for gloved hands
Who it's for
Homeowners clearing driveways, walkways or wood and composite decking who want one tool for scooping and pushing light-to-moderate snow. Less suited to anyone who mainly needs to chip through hard-packed ice, where a metal-edged shovel works better.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Nylon strip protects decks and patios from scratching
- Combination shape scoops and pushes in one motion
- Oversized D-grip is sized for gloved hands
- Steel handle adds weight compared to aluminum-handled models
- Nylon-edged blade is gentler on surfaces, so less aggressive on hard-packed ice
Performance notes
The nylon wear strip reduces drag against pavement or decking while protecting the surface underneath instead of gouging it the way an exposed metal edge can. The oversized D-grip and 37.4-inch ergonomic handle are shaped to keep a gloved hand in control through repeated scoop-and-push motions.
