Suncast SP1400 20-Inch Snow Shovel/Pusher, Navy

This is a great all-around shovel for most types of snow besides powder. You'll probably need a steel ice-scraper for breaking up the really hard stuff, too.
~ Here's the deal: if you try to get ONE shovel that will handle every hard-packed patch and plow-furrow, then you'll end up with something too heavy for easy use in the straightaways. An 18" to 20" wide shovel like this is big enough not to be wasting your time with a lot of unnecessary throws, but small enough not to make each load of wetter snow too heavy. This shovel is light, and the handle is long enough so that you don't have to bend over too far to load it up. And unlike a lot of pusher-type shovels, the blade is angled enough so that the load doesn't slide off when you pick it up off the ground. And the blade is thin enough to allow it a little flex, which comes in handy in some pavement-scraping situations (the angle of the blade allows it to be used in something like a canoe-paddle stroke).

This is one of the best light-weight, yet sturdy snow pushers/shovels I've handled in many years of snow removal. I first discovered this pusher while removing snow at my brother-in-law's home last year. But, I wasn't patient enough to wait for the annual supplies of shovels to hit the local big box stores. I found this same shovel with attached ice scraper for about $16 at a Menard's warehouse.

The Suncast SP1400 has been my lifesaver this winter. I managed to shovel out my entire 100+ foot long driveway by myself. I love this shovel. I just got stuck yesterday and used this puppy to get my car out. LOVE. IT.
