JM Enterprises TV206971 Snowplow Snow Pusher, 30"

Very good but too expensive for a Snowplow. Its very effective on powdery or light snow. Unfortunately its not good at lifting heavy and wet snow. And the price is too high!

I thought this was an overpriced but typical snow shovel. Completely wrong! The plastic used is WAY stronger and more durable than the shovels I'm used to. Also, much heavier in weight. This pusher is actually a well designed, specialized tool. You have to adjust the way you use it in order to take advantage of its attributes. For one thing, the leading edge doesn't wear and bend. For another, it's capable of taking pretty serious impact with refrozen snow. But it searches out sidewalk joints and simply stops dead - I'm constantly surprised by how inflexible it is. Anyway, this thing is pretty neat, if you're looking for a serious tool. If you just want a $8 plastic snow shovel, this isn't it.

Rec'd this today. After watching assembly video and letting the shovel reach room temp, I assembled it. Not very difficult; if anything, a little awkward due to the slightly unwieldy size. (I bought the 30" blade). All went well until screwing in the handle to the black brace. I inserted the handle, making sure it was facing the same way as shown in the instructions. It was a pretty snug fit. I then held the entire assembly upside-down and tapped the assembly against our front-porch pavers hoping to get the handle into the hole at the correct/full depth. There are 3 indentations in the brace to accommodate the screws (very helpful). However, when drilling the holes I started farthest from the blade. The first 2 screws obviously went into the metal handle. (I saw small shards of metal when inserting the screws). However, I don't think the last one did. I saw no metal shards, and the screw went it far easier than the first 2. I think the 3rd isn't screwed through the handle. Now I'm a bit uncertain how long this will last before weakening, and it seems I'd only exacerbate any potential problems if I removed the screws and the handle, then re-inserted the handle and re-inserted the self-tapping screws into new holes in the handle. I held back 1 star for that. I'd recommend the manufacturer add a line/some marking around the handle to ensure the handle has been inserted to the proper depth. Until they start doing that, I'd recommend buyers measure the depth of the hole and mark the handle to that depth to ensure the handle is fully seated into the brace. Otherwise, it seems ready for the next snowfall, though now that I've bought this, like rain after washing your car, I know we've likely seen our last snowfall of the year.

I bought the 30 inch version and I really like this shovel. Some of the reviews said it was a little tricky to put together and I didn't think it was difficult at all. The instructions were good enough that you can get it done. Just make sure you have two 7/16 inch wrenches and a Phillips head bit in your drill and then just slap it together. It takes about two minutes and you are ready to go shovel snow. I got the 30 inch version but I think I'm gonna log back on and get a 24 inch for my wife and a 48 inch version for both of us for when it's a very light dusting and we just wanna get it all out of the way. This seems like a really good value and I really like this shovel. I went around my driveway, pushing it just to get the feel cause I'm so excited waiting for snow!

Have bought about 12 of these in different sizes. Still own everyone and have not broke or worn one out yet. Great value for price. It is a pusher, not a shovel. Work great on sidewalks.
