Ames True Temper 1640400 Arctic Blast 18-Inch Aluminum Snow Shovel

There's not much I can really rave about as far as a snow shovel goes, but this one is built very well, is sturdy and strong, features a nice front edge, and has worked wonderfully for me and my family. I have not seen any other shovels on the market that are as solid and nice as this one, especially for the price. We own two of them and can rely on them in even the heaviest Utah winters!

I was delighted to find aluminum snow shovels with normal straight wooden handles. (All the stores now stock worthless plastic shovels and shovels with bent handles as long as radio towers - NOT convenient!) I'm very pleased to find these light weight but sturdy snow shovels!

The shovel is extremely well built and I'm sure that it will last for many years. It moves snow very easily and cuts through thick ice with the metal blade. Being able to push the snow around is much better for me than a normal shovel. I hurt my back just before this winter and there is no way I would be able to clear my driveway with a scoop style shovel. Don't waste your money on a plastic shovel if you live in an area with lots of snow and ice!
