Polar Tuff 38" Snow Plow Pusher with Wheels & Flipover Blade

 (8 customer reviews)

A snow pusher that works is a great idea. Unfortunately, this one snapped off at the handle on its second run. The problem, according to the manufacturer, was that the plastic shafts get brittle in the cold. Since it's most likely to be cold when shoveling or pushing snow is required, I'd call this a pretty serious short-cut on materials. And they mean it when they say "for light and fluffy snow." This does well on a flat, paved surface with a couple of inches of downy snow. But so would a broom--at a fraction of the price. Also, assembly instructions would have helped.

This snow plow worked great for a 1 inch snowfall. On my second use of the plow, there was more snow (about 5 inches) and the plastic snow blade cracked when I turned the blade when it was loaded with snow.

If the plastic parts on this snow plow were replaced with metal (blade and shafts), I think it would be a better product.

I contacted YO-HO and they sent me parts to repair the shovel when the handle snapped on me. It is best to grab the handle on the sides and not in the center when pushing the plow, I think.

With the repairs in place, the plow is working great. The good news here is that the company stands behind the product and is willing to work with the customer until they are satisfied.

I was very excited to purchase this pusher for removing snow with greater ease, and bought two. To my great disappointment, the handle of one of the pushers broke the first day of use! It did an excellent job up until the point where the handle cracked and it became completely useless.
