      A:  No. It throws snow only. If you hit a pebble or stick or piece of ice, the plastic blade breaks.

              Snow shovel
              Works great Ive attached it to my 2 stroke weeder. The only thing it needs is a shoot like a snow blower to throw the snow to the side

              Broke with light use.
              The back shovel plate broke along with most of the mounting holes for the plate.

                Overall great.
                I have an expand it with the leaf blower and string trimmer. 40v battery. Love it. The snow thrower works great. I was skeptical with deep heavy snow but today it proved me wrong. Went through 5” of heavy, wet snow no problem. Did all of my sidewalks and deck with 2 bars of battery left. It is heavier than an empty shovel but the fact that it throws the snow for you makes a huge difference. A light snow it might be a waste but definitely worth it over 2”. I waited too long to buy this!

                    good, but not tough
                    I love this device. It’s not perfect though. The scoop is made of plastic. As a result of much snow thrown for 2 seasons, scraping on concrete etc. the plastic has become brittle and breaks VERY easily. I dont beat on this either. This scoop should be reinforced with a stronger material to combat this. I am happy the tool exists, but unhappy it didnt last. Great device otherwise.

                      Great Depending on Snow Conditions
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was searching high and low to get this piece of equipment because it was always sold out. When I finally saw it in stock I jumped at the chance to purchase it. We've been fortunate to have a really mild winter here in Utah so far. However, this weekend we received our first big snowstorm that I was able to use it. I found that it was fairly functional and worked great in certain situations. With slushy snow, it worked great to throw it. But when there was ice it wouldn't break that up and clean it as well. You can see from the photos where it worked well and where it struggled. My neighbor used his snowblower and it definitely cleared the walks better, but mine was much cheaper so there is that trade-off. You do need to be mindful of where you are throwing the snow. It would be better if it would throw it to the side because it would throw it back on areas that I had already cleaned. I had to do multiple passes to make it clear. Overall, I would definitely recommend it and am excited to use it. It is a bit of a battery hog and used half of the 4ah battery that I have for my smaller driveway and a bit longer sidewalk.

                          Poor Hardware included
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in fall to get ready for winter. The goal was to get snow on my back covered patio more away from the concrete/ landscaping since the piles got rather tall when I shoveled. It worked great! My only complaint is the garbage plastic hardware included with the handle. It did not hold tight enough to keep the handle from spinning. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to some metal hardware.

                            Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. The thrower works very well, when used appropriately. It does a good job with 6 in of snow. As you likely expect from the photos, it throws the snow directly in front, so you do need to clear driveways or paths perpendicularly and in the same direction with the wind. I've used it a couple of times now and so far as I can tell it appears to be well constructed. I've hit a couple of hard packed snow patches and while the thrower doesn't handle those very well, there doesn't appear to be any damage as long as I pull back in those cases. I use it with my 40V battery powered trimmer motor and it does a great job. I can over a half hour of use out of the battery which is enough to clear my driveway and back walk (approximately 60 ft long combined). The only complaint, and it's minor, is that the thrower is kinda heavy which makes it hard to maneuver. But even so, it's easier than moving the same amount of snow.

                              Easy to use. 25 minutes on a 40V 3Ah throwing 2" of wet snow. Can clear same amount of snow as my 22" 2 stage because I can walk twice as fast. Just have to turn thrower about 10 degrees to throw the snow off to the side since no deflector, that's why 4 stars. but, the convenience out weight this deficiency. Highly recommend!
