Ames True Temper 1627200 Arctic Blast Mountain Mover Snow Shovel Combo with Steel Core Handle

The metal strip on this shovel catches on the brushed sidewalk concrete, and the shovel itself is too flimsy. So every time the metal blade catches, the shovel flexes and all progress halts. The angle of attack seems all wrong. I'm not tall, but I find myself lowering the handle to try to get the blade to work.

Don't be lured in by price point. Choose a different shovel and you won't dread the snow.

Picked up the identical model from a local store, and not only is the metal edge flimsy, the bed of the shovel is weak. After a couple of big snowfalls the body of the bed has cracked, and I doubt it can move much more snow.

This has to be the worst snow shovel I have ever seen. It has this new fangled bend in the handle for some bright reason which actually contributes to its poor performance. The bend prevents you from using force, the shovel itself bends and the whole thing wobbles even under a few inches of fresh snow. In my opinion, what ever engineer was hired to design this should be fired immediately. And clearly, there was no testing done on this shovel. There is no way there was because it would have been quickly realized it's a piece of garbage. All I am happy about is I didn't buy it myself for home use but instead it was bought by my work for the office area.
