Buyer Guide Snow Shovels

 Snow shovels are essential tools for clearing sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots. If you’re unsure which one to buy, here are some guidelines you can use.

• Consider the type of snow you’re dealing with. If you live in a climate with rain or occasional snow, you don’t need a heavy-duty shovel. A 4-foot, 4-inch snow shovel will suffice.
• Consider the snow’s size and weight. If you’re dealing with 6-foot (or more) snow, a 6-foot (or more) shovel should be sufficient.
• Consider the snow’s hardness. Snow can be soft, medium, or hard. If you’re dealing with soft snow, a 4-foot (or more) shovel should be sufficient. If you’re dealing with medium or hard snow, a 6-foot (or more) shovel should be sufficient.
• Consider your intended use. If you’re planning to use your shovel often, get a shovel that’s made from high-quality steel. If you’re planning to use your shovel less often, buy a shovel made from high-quality plastic.
• Choose a shovel with a comfortable handle.
• Consider your intended use. If your shovel will be used frequently, consider buying a shovel with a rubber or plastic handle

How to choose Snow Shovels

Here’s a guide to help you choose the best snow shovel for your driveway:

• Consider how long your driveway is: A smaller shovel may suffice for a shorter driveway, but if you have a big driveway, you might need a large shovel.
• Consider the weather: If you live in an area with heavy snow or ice, you might need a shovel with a wider blade.
• Consider your height: If you plan to use the shovel, you should make sure it’s comfortable for you to use, regardless of how long you’ll be shoveling.
• Consider your strength: If you’re above average weight, you might need a heavier shovel.
• Consider your environment: If you live in an area where there is a lot of salt and sand, you might want to consider a shovel with a smooth finish, to avoid marring your driveway.
• Consider your material: If you’re going outside, the shovel should be light and easy to maneuver. However, if you’re going to be shoveling for a prolonged period of time, you may want to choose an aluminum shovel, as it’s more durable.

How to maintain Snow Shovels

 Snow and ice can be slippery, especially in colder temperatures. If you consistently use shovels to clear your sidewalk and driveway, it’s important to keep them in good condition.

Here are some tips from Consumer Reports on how to care for a snow shovel:

• Use the proper type of shovel. If you’re clearing snow, you don’t want to use a metal shovel. Metal shovels can cause tears and punctures in plastic shovels.
• Make sure you’re using a snow shovel correctly. While Consumer Reports noted that aluminum shovels are more lightweight than steel shovels, they also said that aluminum shovels can warp and bend when used in wet conditions.
• Keep your shovel in good repair. If you have metal shovels, they should be kept dry to prevent rusting. If your shovel is plastic, Consumer Reports recommends that you clean it every few months.
• Store your shovel properly. Your shovel should be kept in a dry, well-ventilated area. If you can’t store it outside, it should be stored inside to avoid moisture.
• Make sure you’re using the right type of salt. Consumer Reports noted that sodium chloride (commonly known as table salt) is more effective at melting snow and ice than rock salt.
• Clean your shovel after each use. If you keep your shovel in a shed or garage, you should clean it out after each use.
• Protect your shovel from environmental elements. Consumer Reports noted that snow shovels can become brittle and bent and that damaged shovels can cause injuries.
