This review is from: Ames True Temper 1639300 24-Inch Wood Handle Snow Pusher (Lawn & Patio) Received my shovel today. Amazon Prime and UPS did an excellent job. I just finished the rest of my driveway since my plastic shovel (made by the same company) broke. The shovel photo is misleading. The blade does have depressions formed to maintain strength. The business edge of the shovel or blade edge is not straight. It looks like a noodle. I had to get out my hammer and a block of wood to straighten it in order to use it. The handle could be 2 to 4 inches longer or a few degrees more angle. It is awkward for a 6 foot tall person but may be just right for someone 5 feet tall. The plastic handle gives a lot. I hope it does not break. Why can't American companies make American worthy products. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Ames True Temper 1639300 24-Inch Wood Handle Snow Pusher (Lawn & Patio) This shovel is built like a tank. It will last for years. Now, for review purposes I'm 6 ft tall... You can tell it's designers never used it or they were 4 ft tall because it's handle is too short. Also the steel is not bent/formed enough. This causes you to have to push it with the handle really low to the pavement. Ie, the angle is wrong. Your back will hate it! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Ames True Temper 1639300 24-Inch Wood Handle Snow Pusher (Lawn & Patio) This shovel is heavy enough to chip up the ice under the snow, and will allow you to push all the way across the driveway in one stroke. It takes 10 minutes to clear my 25 x 50 foot driveway with 4" of snow. It does not break when you hit a crack. It will stop you dead in your tracks, but the thing is indestructable.
I have broken 5 plastic shovels with wear strips and two aluminum shovels in two years. |
