Title: Poor Plastic
Product review: I had a shovel break on me a couple of days before a big storm was due in Feb of 2011. None of the local stores had anything left in stock so I resorted to Amazon.The design on this is the only thing that saves it from 1 star for me. The handle is a good shape, the blade is smaller but it's intended for shoveling not pushing so that is fine.The problem is in the materials. After one use the plastic at the base of the blade was already fraying. After 4 uses the base of the blade was very erratic from the plastic that shaved off. After 6 uses it had a small crack in the blade near the base of the handle. It got me through the rest of the winter but I bought a new shovel prior to winter 2012.
