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

Comment: I placed an order for 2 of the Ames True Temper snow shovels. Living in East Tennessee, we have been blessed with lots of snow this winter.
I am very pleased with these shovels, but hope not to have to use them any more this winter. May God bless you and your wonderful business.
Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
L L

Comment: 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.

Comment: I was a little hesitant when purchasing this shovel since the only other review was negative. However, given that it only cost $9 plus free shipping I had to give it a try (besides there have not been any snow shovels in our area for a while). I was pleasantly surprised and it definitely gets the job done! It seems to be high quality. I have smooth asphalt so the edge of the blade getting stuck on the pavement is not an issues. It is definitely better than some of the shovels I have been borrowing from neighbors and the next most inexpensive shovel on Amazon was about $24 when you included shipping.

Comment: 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.
