#Suncase snow shovel full#

This isnвЂ™t a big deal, since itвЂ™s better ergonomically to turn and throw anyway, but it did make me adjust my technique. My only qualm with this Suncast is that its handle shape makes it tough to throw snow behind me. At only 18 inches wide, this shovel isnвЂ™t going to plow a massive amount of snow, but it plows 18 inches really well. The shovelвЂ™s metal edge clears down to the asphalt during testing it removed ice and left-behind snow with only one or two extra scrapes. This means that more force goes forward rather than down, more easily avoiding obstructions. Rather than having to push down at an angle like with a straight-handled shovel, I was able to push horizontal to the ground. This shovel surprised me at how well its ergonomic handle allows it to plow.

The ergonomic handle allowed me to pick up a full shovelful without having to bend over, saving strain on my lower back and legs.ДЄ slight bend in the knees is all it takes to toss a full scoop onto the snow pile. Through two storms, I was able to dig, scrape, plow, and throw with minimal effort. It is the perfect blend of versatility and comfort. Definitely the best $40 I've ever spent on a snow removal tool.For my 5вЂ™8вЂќ frame and preferred shoveling technique of tossing the snow in front of me, this shovel is the absolute standout of the group. The poly scoop has low surface affinity for snow, so it slides on top of and ejects snow from it with ease. Create a ramp/sluice to a convenient dumping spot with the first load, then at the end either jerk back on the handle or else twist left/right to eject the snow. It was clumsy and awkward to use at first, but once I started thinking of it as part front-end loader and part toboggan/sled - the fun-factor went way up and the snow started flying. I'm not sure if this is supposed to come with instructions, but I didn't get any. The sturdy construction and steel front edge can even make a dent in those dreaded piles of street-plow 'snowcrete'. It really shines in the big snows, you can move literally tons of snow with it - without vertical lifting - in fairly short order. I wouldn't recommend this shovel for anyone over about 5'8' tall. And if you're taller, you have to bend much further to get it out where you empty it, especially when the snow starts to pile up.

Because the Suncast shovel is smaller, you have to make more trips up and down a sidewalk and you have to empty it much more often. It was about the same width as a sidewalk so one trip was all it took. It had a bigger pan, was about 8 to 10 inches wider, had wooden runners on the bottom and the handle was longer and at the right angle. I had a pan shovel several years ago that worked great. I'm 6'3' tall and as other tall people have mentioned, this shovel does not work well for tall people. I can't believe I didn't read the reviews before buying.
