THE SNOWPLOWThe Snowplow the Original Snow Pusher 24" Wide Model

One of the best snow shovels I have ever owned. I actually ended up using this over the electric snow shovel just before how easy it is to push. Effortlessly clear driveway and sidewalk snow in no time.I had doubts on it being plastic but it's very durable. The plastic also helps it slide easily along concrete. I have gone through two snow seasons in Colorado and it shows little wear. The design is made for pushing and not scooping, so scooping and throwing snow is not as easy as will at regular shovel. It may be more expensive than other shovels but well worth it.

We didnt get a lot of snow this year but when I did use the shovel it was light weight and move the snow easily and with little effort.

Had an inch of fluffy snow this morning, so it was a perfect test of my new 24" snow pusher shovel. My driveway is 16' wide and 10' long and I was able to clear the driveway in 10 minutes with no lifting of snow involved. The curve of the shovel held the snow that piled up as I pushed it across the drive. At no time did any snow stick to the shovel surface. I realize that for heavier snows, it will be necessary to do the clearing in layers. For major storms, like earlier this week when 12" of heavy snow came down, I'll use the snow removal service. All in all, the Snowplow Snow Pusher is a very sturdy, easy to use snow removal tool. I never thought I would actually enjoy snow removal until I used it.Update: 2/14/25 - After a 4" snow, it rained, leaving a heavy, wet layer. The snow pusher could only move the snow maybe 2 feet before it piled up over the top. Since pushing any harder would have been hazardous to my health, my workaround was to push to the side in increments of a few feet. I was able to clear a narrow path from the front door to the mailbox. Even if I had my old gas powered snow blower, it would have stalled out or clogged trying to clear a wide path. The Snow Pusher is still a good buy.

Did a good job this past winter. Really is great at pushing snow.I should've went for the 36inch though, the 24inch feels slightly too small for my driveway.

This is a great shovel. I owned the 48” model when I lived in MN, and used it for more than a decade, and loved it. But in MN, you can go into any hardware store, and buy one of these already assembled, ready-to-go. Now I live in NC, and when I went to the store looking for a snow-shovel (which we rarely need), I just got confused looks. So I bought this 24” one on Amazon.There are a LOT of negative reviews, mostly complaining about assembly issues, or missing hardware. So let me set the record straight. YES you will need tools and some mechanical aptitude to assemble this shovel – so know that in advance. Why can’t the manufacturer make this clear in the description? Better yet, why can’t the manufacturer pre-drill pilot holes, and make this a lot easier for everyone? But having said that – it really is a high-quality, very sturdy shovel, and the included hardware is top-quality stainless.OK – here is what you need to know: First of all, the hardware is hiding. They stuff the bag of hardware into the cylindrical socket in the brace – where the handle inserts into – and where you would NEVER see it if you didn’t know to look there. As a guy who never reads instructions, I too was certain it had been shipped without hardware, until I noticed the sticker telling me where to look.Next – to assemble the blade to the brace, you will need TWO 7/16” wrenches, one for the bolt, and one for the Nylock nut. I used a 7/16” socket plus an open-end wrench. A crescent wrench or even a pliers can hold one end if that’s all you have handy. First get all the bolts assembled in their (pre-drilled) holes, but don’t tighten yet. Then go back and tighten-up the bolts across the blade, and finally the one on top. No need to really torque them down, just reasonable hand tighten so you don’t deform the plastic. (by the way this is REALLY high-quality plastic – incredibly tough and sturdy). This is the easy part.Finally – we get to what all the complaints are about: there are 3 self-drilling/tapping stainless screws which are intended to drill through the plastic brace, and then drill and thread into the thin steel tube of the handle, thus securing it to the blade assembly. There are no pilot-holes – you as the assembler, have to run these fasteners at the correct speed to drill through two different materials, and then not over-torque them and strip-out the screw in the handle. This is where everyone is complaining that you need a power screwdriver. Its true – no way you could do this with a hand screwdriver. In addition, while doing this drilling/tapping operation, you have to make sure the handle is fully inserted to the proper depth, AND the handle is rotated to the correct position. I’m an experienced machinist, yet I can completely understand why many would be hesitant with this step. If you have never used a fastener like this, you have no room for error – either it works for you the first time, or not. If you don’t have a pristine Phillips #2 head on your drill/driver, chances are that, even if you do everything perfectly, the screw can slip and get away from you while trying to drill into the side of a steel tube with no centerpunch, and go sideways. Moreover – once you finally drill through the steel tube of the handle, now the threaded portion engages, and with your drill still spinning at high-speed, the threads could rapidly hit bottom and strip-out the steel tube. Be careful. Take it slow. Or – better yet, pre-drill pilot holes with a 1/8” drill – then it is easy to thread the self- drilling/tapping screws in, even with a regular Phillips driver.With successful assembly, this shovel is great – I would give it 5-stars. But because of the assembly issues which are going to be a problem for many people, I have to subtract a star.

I would never buy a different shovel after having this one!

Awesome shovel! I’ve shoveled endless miles of sidewalks and driveways and so on. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a nicer shovel than this. It’s worth every single penny!!

easy to setup, especially with a good power drillcatches grooves in the sidewalk so you have to go at slant when shoveling over a groovework even better after they are used for a while as the lower edge of the shovel smooth outI have bought 2 in a row, love them
