Suncast SP2450 24-Inch Snow Shovel/Pusher with Wear Strip

 (9 customer reviews)

This is a good, wide snow pusher. On concrete and asphalt, the snow has to be recent, powdery snow. Heavy wet snow, and snow with ice base is too heavy to be pushed; the metal edge will not break up an ice base. Also, I am over 6' tall, and the angle that the shovel makes with the ground is too high. Therefore, the pushing edge constantly digs into the cement/asphalt. I have to push with the handle at the height of my thighs so that the metal edge does not dig in. Not a big deal, because this pusher moves a lot of snow under the right conditions. This is definitely NOT a snow shovel. For decks (wood and otherwise), I would recommend a pusher without the metal edge. I found an 24" wide plastic pusher without the metal edge at a local hardware store.

Works like a pusher should. It's well constructed and is holding up to the rigors of a miserable Chicago winter. Combined with a bent-handle throwing shovel, I can clear my 50-foot long double wide driveway of 4 inches of snow in about 15 minutes. Thanks to this, I can leave the snow blower in the garage until really heavy snowstorms hit.

A previous, similar model held up for 7 seasons before the wear strip finally wore away. Even then, the shovel functioned adequately enough to finish up one last winter's worth of snow removal duty.

I had one of these shovels years ago, and couldn't find another one around until now. This is the best snow shovel they make. The medal strip on the bottom cleans down to the pavement, even after your car packed the snow down. Great for pushing snow too. Love this shovel. I'm thinking of purchasing a few more just as backups, in case they stop making this shovel.
