content: This shovel is exactly what I was looking for. With this shovel you simply push the snow just like a snow plow truck. The 27" on this shovel assists in finishing the job quickly. Others have mentioned that they prefer to have a metal shovel. I'd have to say that I would rather replace a shovel every 5 to 10 years than destoy my walkway, driveway, and wood porch with a metal one. The bottem line is that this shovel is in my opinion the right tool for the job.
