Best snow mover
This is the best snow mover I've ever used. It handles large volumes of snow with ease. We've had it for 2 seasons, and it still looks brand new. We have an old asphalt driveway, and it frequently bogs down on rocks sticking up, but the blade is still in excellent shape.

    Blade warped with second month
    Given the price, I expected mire. The blade warped, and will not sit flush with surface…. So it is now worthless for snow removal.

      The design of this snow pusher is terrible. The part that comes in contact with the pavement is at such an angle that it catches every expansion joint in sidewalk. And if the area you are shoveling isn't perfectly level it constantly catches. If you look at the back of most shovels they have a spacer on the back that slightly lifts the front edge up and at an angle so it misses slightly uneven areas as well as expansion joins in concrete. This shovel's blade is at an angle that catches expansion joints and every imperfection in the concrete and I am constantly being suddenly stopped and jerked forward into the shovel. And the sides of the shovel should be angled slightly inward so the snow does not fall out. I have to make extra passes because it leaves a trail of snow behind on each side. This snow pusher has only one practical use: pushing 1-2 inches of snow off perfectly level concrete slabs with saw cut joints.

        WOW! This is now our new favorite snow-pusher for clearing the stairs, deck, and the parking pad..... This arrived in the middle of a storm; snow so deep the truck couldn't turn around in our drive. I quickly cleared our turn-around space, 50 feet of asphalt. My snow-mate grabbed it and "cleared 5 inches off the deck stairs in less than a minute" (photo). Later I pushed-aside half the snow on our 16'x16' deck-- normally a 2-day shovel/throw job, but pushed-away in under 15 minutes. Of particular note: the blade is tough but soft. Our deck is expensive plastic composite. Steel shovels scuff the pattern, and even an aluminum edge leaves marks. This structural polyethylene is softer than the deck boards, will not scuff them. If it won't scuff my deck boards then it won't scuff any other walking surface. You would think it might wear away. 2 days hard use on asphalt hasn't affected the bevel edge at all. This type extra-dense polyethylene is known for good wearing qualities. The polyethylene is also super slippery. It is widely used industrially for very low friction sliders. Here in Maine we often get sticky snow and use waxes oils or silicones on plows and shovels so they shed the snow. This polyethylene needs no treatment. This snow-pusher complements a snow-blower well. There's always places a sno-blow can't get into or can't blow out of. Shoveling and throwing is just hard work. Push-plowing snow out of corners into an open area where the snow blower can blow it away makes a big difference. If you get out there every inch or two, this wide blade plows a LOT of snow very easy. 50'x20' takes just a few minutes. It will push very deep and heavy snow, though of course this is hard work. We have 10 feet of roof that sheds snow to a dense 2 foot clump in front of the garage door. Today I broke that up and pushed it out of the way. The handle is a good length. The multi-angle handle gives a choice of grips for power or control or comfort. The loud yellow handle and head, with the black shaft, means it will stand-out if misplaced in the snow. Being very-very good at some things, naturally there are things it does not do well. If you have to lift and throw, this is a poor choice, use a regular snow shovel. If you must clear snow on gravel or dirt, this big blade will snag on every stone, use something else. For shipping, the shaft and blade are separate, they just snap together. It might be nice if they came apart for summer storage, but that seems to require small tools and three hands; it's not made to come apart. Anyway none of my other shovels comes apart. We have two long parallel rods in the garage, on a stud, so we can hang our many shovels blade-up and out of the way.

        Note that this tool is designed and sold as a snow PUSHER. The design of the shovel part is not curved, so scooping after pushing a snow pile, is not part of the tool package. You can scoop snow, but it will require more effort than a shovel with a design that scoops. As far as pushing snow, this tool is excellent. Amazingly comfortable, with enough product weight to keep the shovel under what you are pushing. The thick nylon shovel blade will last for years. Strong enough to scrape what is under the snow. The shock of hitting an uneven pavement is minimized by the well designed handle system.

        I live in Idaho, and while this is not the snow capital, we do get our fair share. I also have an extra large driveway, and using a snow blower for the less than an inch dustings the come through is a quick way to eat up my supply of gasoline. This wide, heavy duty blade easily helps to clear the drifts and lighter snow. The only thing that might improve this model is adding wheels, it is almost the equal to an ATV snow plow in function, and is only limited by your traction. The extra large handle helps to get a good grip for pushing, and it is heavy enough that it won't lift from the ground if you hit a bump.

        Works well for pushing snow, not so much for shoveling it. The build quality is really nice. It has a nice heft to it and feels solid and well made. The blade is smooth so there are no ribs or ridges to hold snow on the blade if you are trying to shovel it.. It worked really well in a light couple of inches of the white stuff. Quicker than pulling out the snow blower. It worked well for clearing my driveway (1500 Ft^2) quickly. The plastic blade should not damage any surface and looks like it should last a while. Not great for shoveling but nice for pushing snow

        Innovative ergonomic handle with excellent grip/covering made of TPE resin. Wide blade is durable, strong, easy to use. Steel handle but is lightweight, 4.6 lbs. Longer handle reduces bending so helps prevent back issues. Very minor easy assembly required. Only have to insert/pop-on the handle into the blade frame/mechanism. Locks in place easily. The rest is already assembled. High grade hardware used. High quality construction.

        If you're interested in clearing a lot of snow quickly and easily, look no further - this is your snow pusher. We used an 18" wide aluminum pusher for many years and it finally was so worn that the blade looked like it had been used as the bumper in a demo derby. Stepping up to this True Temper unit was a huge and pleasant surprise. Not only was it much wider, it was lighter as well. The handle is steel and strong and has an excellent grip that lets you use either hand comfortably when lifting or throwing snow and yet still lets you push with both hands for extended continuous pushing runs. This unit cut the amount of time spent on snow removal by at least half. While True Temper and others sell units that are wider, we didn't want one so wide that it exceeded the width of our 36" sidewalk. This 30" unit was the perfect blend of width, weight and balance. Assembly is a no-brainer and the handle connection to the blade snaps into place with a very satisfying click. With the cleverly designed grip, you can really get a solid hold. No more annoying unexpected rotation and loss of snow load when the handle slips in your hands sideways. The blade is 1/4" thick nylon. At first, it had a tendency to be stopped at uneven transitions in concrete expansion joints and other surface imperfections, but after a few uses, the edge smoothed enough to slide over many of those. This unit is so wide, that any wide surface imperfection can stop you cold, so be careful if your behind it moving fast and hit an obstruction. It did a fantastic job with one of the things I hate the most, snow packed tire tracks (see video). Even working one-handed, it excelled in quickly eradicating the obnoxious tracks. It works great pushing snow, of course, but also was great pulling snow and slush from under vehicles (see pictures). It did not remove thick ice, perhaps due to the thickness of the blade, but when it comes to moving a lot of snow and slush, this pusher is excellent. In terms of noise, it's not quiet, but compared to the din created by my old aluminum pusher, this was a whisper. The blade is nylon, so wear is inevitable. The blade simply bolts on, so hopefully, True Temper will begin selling replacement blades before I need one. To say we're pleased with this pusher would understate our impressions. This unit really feels like a professional tool and while not the cheapest pusher, it's a great value compared to many others. We highly recommend this snow pusher.

        This works really well to clear the drive of a few inches of snow. It is quick because of the wide 36 inch blade. It works well with light snow that you can rapidly push off the drive. If you had a deep, wet snow that you have to actually shovel up this probably wouldn’t work so well, because it would be really heavy due to the size of the blade. If you are home when it snows it is always better to shovel early and shovel often, and this would work great with that strategy. This pusher will work much better on a flat drive. If you have low spots the blade will leave some snow behind. It has a nice bright handle so hopefully you won’t lose it in the snow. Also as the handle has a loop it can be hung up in the garage for the 95% of the time when you don’t need to use it. The nylon blade is also good because it slides well on concreate, whereas metal doesn’t slide so well. It assembles really quickly with the handle just clicking into the blade. As I live in Minnesota and don’t want to buy a snow blower I need a variety of other snow tools.

        This 30 inch Snow Pusher is an excellent tool with many great features. This is truly a PRO grade snow pusher with a high quality "blade" and ergonomic handle that makes pushing snow an easier process. Snow moves easily up the substantial grade plastic blade and the "two handed" handle gives you a firm even grip to easily push 3-6 inches of snow. I had another push type shovel that was very good...but this one significantly ups the game and is a "must have' to quickly clear your driveway or sidewalks.

        A great shovel for those of us in the frozen North! It arrives in two pieces and just pushes together. No tools, it snap locks into place. Very lightweight, and the yellow stands out. The smooth all plastic blade slides on pavement easily, it doesn't jam up and send the handle into your chest like metal blades can do. Snow doesn't stick to it, it slides right off, handy for wet snows. Being all plastic it's also quieter on pavement than a metal blade. I've used it in -10 temps this week and haven't had any issues with cracking or warping. The grab handle itself is ergonomic, allowing you to either use both hands to shove the shovel like a plow or use one hand to push and lift and toss the snow once you reach the end of a row. The longer handle style is nice for taller users like myself. Overall this does the job, it works well, is nice and durable. I'd recommend it.

        I LOVE this shovel!!! I have a couple other plastic shovels, both have metal scraping edges, and tend to hook everything while shoveling. (cracks, rocks, patches, etc) This one just glides over those areas. I haven't used it on heavy, wet snow yet, but the lighter stuff is nothing for it. I like the handle a lot. It is very comfortable to grab with either hand, and doesn't feel like it will slip out of my grip. It came in 2 pieces, the handle and the shovel end, and went together very easily, and the connection feels like it will stay put.

        This 24 inch industrial grade snow pusher with versa grip does a great job pushing snow! It has plow shaped blade, which makes it easy for pushing. With the versa grip handle it provides excellent leverage for scooping up snow and pushing snow. The handle is very comfortable and you can switch positions easily with in the handle. The blade is made out of nylon and is long lasting, snow does not stick to the blade. Best snow shovel I have ever owned, and it is the only one I use now.

        Comes in two sections easy to assemble as it locks together in seconds. No tools required. 36 inches wide this shovel makes the job of pushing the snow out of the way in a hurry and easy. It has a large grip handle that will accommodate heavy mittens or gloves while using which is a great idea. Made of a heavy plastic product that should last for a few winter seasons. Not something I enjoy doing anymore. Shoveling snow, I mean, but this tool makes it much easier. Two thumbs up!!

        Michigan winters demand having the best snow removal products. This True Temper snow shovel is better than the rest. It glides smoothly through the snow and clears very cleanly. The handle is super comfortable to hold and use, with the angle of the shovel itself being ergonomic. I love the bright yellow color, so it can easily be found if left out in the snow. The length is great, even for tall husbands. The material is sturdy and the workmanship holds up to the brand name. The shovel is shipped in two pieces, and very easily snaps together in one click. We were able to clear the walkway to our front door in a couple of minutes. It has a great width and is not heavy at all to move or scoop. Great product for the winter.

        The Cadillac of snow pushers. I have never had a snow pusher made this well. My snow pusher from last year broke off right where the beveled pusher part connects with the handle. The blade is shaped like a plow just like your states road plowing equipment. You can easily push the snow off of your sidewalk. It has a whopping thirty inch blade to clean off that walk in no time. And the blade is made out of Ultra-High Molecular Weight (UHMW) nylon. And it has a Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) resin-covered steel handle which will give it strength and durability. The grip is very ergonomically designed so you can can use multiple hand positions. You should have this shovel for years and years.

        I have a 36” and it’s too big. I bought the smaller one so I can clear the snow off my 12’ spa cover without ripping the cover. This is perfect for that.
