The Snowplow Snow Pusher review

What's rare about this review is that he has owned the product for several years. Very valuable review. Thanks man!

I have the same 48" model of snow blade that I purchased in 2010. I also bought one in the 30" version that I use on my front patio & rear deck. They work great in light fluffy snow up to about 3" deep. In heavy wet slush I try to get it moved before it gets more than 1 or 2 inches deep, especially when using the 48" blade. I did contact the company that manufactures these about 3 years ago & ordered a spare 48" blade, but haven't felt the need to replace it yet. I actually just went out & measured the wear compared to the new blade & it has worn of approximately 1/2". I have just over 4,000 sq. feet that I remove snow from. When the snow gets too deep or too wet I have a Toro PowerMax HD 1128OXE blower that I use.

I have the 36 inch, the 30 inch, the 24 inch as well as several of the Snow Dominator scoop shovels. Absolutely love the pushers. That blade material is UHMW, ultra high molecular weight polyurethane. It has one of the best friction coefficients and just glides over the concrete. My driveway is about 40 feet wide by 15 feet plus the alley behind my home. Here is a system that I will share with everyone. These shovels are great for pushing but not perfect for lifting and throwing so what I do is push all the snow to the sides of the driveway and alley and then use the snowthrower to move it to the yard. That way no lifting and throwing and you don't get a huge pile along the sides to work around as winter progresses.

I went to the hardware store and bought two of these in the 36" size after watching THIS review. Although my circular asphalt driveway (150' to the road) was only covered with 2" of fluffy snow on a ten-degree day, this pusher scraped it off cleanly and quickly. I noticed it was never too heavily loaded to be hard to lift over the bank at the end of a push, I can hold it at arm's length to turn it 180 degrees to start a new push back in the other direction and I had to take an extra half-step forward each pass because it clears such a wide swath . Zero snow stuck to the 1/4" thick plastic blade. The D-handle is comfortable to push against with one or both hands and is stiff enough not to twist when picking up a shovel-full of snow. The website has replacement parts. Not sure what's going to wear or break on these snow pushers, but it's nice to know that I only have to re-buy pieces that I wear out. This feels like a "durable goods" TOOL similar to quality router bits and nice saw blades. Nicer than many other pieces of lawn and garden maintenance crap you have to buy over and over again for the house. As a 63-year old, the 36" width did not seem too big to push or lift this light snow comfortably. The sturdy, no-flex handle comes with a white, plastic clip attached. Made of the same typed of material as the 1/4" thick blade, it's for screwing into a stud in the garage wall so that the shovel has a custom hanger instead of a rusty nail.

Just bought one today! Got my driveway done in at least half the time. I’m in Utah.

These are amazing tools! My sidewalks are only 34 in wide so I think I have the 30 ort 33 inch version. They are more expensive than the cheap stereotypical snow shovels. In my area (MN) you can pick one up for about $40; and if you don't get one at the beginning of the season, they sell out quickly. You snooze, you lose! I will never go back to the standard snow shovel ever again. Anything over 4 in accumulation gets taken off by the snowblower....

Absolutely love mine for light snows. I got the 48” and wouldn’t be without it in the Canadian Prairies.

Great snow shovel man. Good review. Nicely done. Purchasing one tomorrow morning!

Just ordered the 48''. Looks great for light snows. My snowblower can remove the bulk at the endd of the driveway. Thans for the great review.

In a few quick pushes you cleared an area that looks almost as large as my fairly short 2 lane driveway (can fit 3 cars bumper to bumper). That took you like 30 seconds. Takes me like 10 minutes with my small electric snow blower. This would be great for light snow that isn't too deep or heavy. For snow like we had today I don't know how well it would have worked (super thick, slushy, and deep - it was rain and snow, then the storm ended in all snow. So like 3 inches of snow over a 3 inch slushy bottom, very heavy).

The 48 is a bit much.... great for really light snow but it sure gets heavy quickly when you have 4 feet on that thing. I prefer the 36 and even the 24. Great shovels and great review!

Just a tip, if you angle the shovel a little to the left or right, you won't get lines. I haven't tried it with the large blade pushers like yours though.

I wonder how this would do on gravel. Thank you 👍

The bent handle shovel is the worst back destroying shovel invented. I threw away the one at work and forced my boss to buy a better shovel after back strain injury to several employees. I threw away the one my mom bought and replaced with much better one.

have you ever tried a sleigh shovel? what did you think?

Excellent tool and demonstration, however I found that the absolute best technique is to hire someone. All the best!

How do they perform on deeper snow?

I just use two show shovels lol.

Why not just go in the opposite direction instead walking back too were you started you would be done by now
