Does a bent handle take getting used to?

Most people adjust after a shovelling session or two. The bend changes where the hands sit, so the motion can feel different at first.

Is an add-on handle an option instead of a new shovel?

Clip-on secondary handles are sold separately and fit many standard shafts. Checking the shaft diameter first helps make sure it will attach securely.
