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

 Before you buy, consider these two factors:

• What type of snow shovel are you looking for? Snow shovels come in a number of different sizes, and choosing the right one for the job could mean more efficient snow removal.
• Standard or ergonomic? Standard snow shovels have longer handles, which makes it easier to lift the snow. Ergonomic shovels, on the other hand, have shorter handles, which can make snow removal easier and safer.

 

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.
