Why heavy duty snow shovel make a good gift

  • The aluminum blade holds its shape when cutting into wet, heavy or compacted snow.
  • It stands up to years of regular use through long, snowy Canadian winters.
  • A solid choice for someone who has worn through a plastic shovel or two already.

What to look for

  • Check whether the blade edge has a wear strip, which helps it last on pavement.
  • Compare overall weight, since metal blades are heavier than plastic ones to lift.
  • Look at how the blade attaches to the shaft; riveted or bolted joints tend to hold well.

Questions people ask

Will an aluminum shovel scratch a deck or paving stones?
A metal blade can mark wood decks, painted surfaces and some pavers. A plastic or polycarbonate shovel is gentler for those areas.
Can it break up ice?
It handles thin ice and crusty, packed snow reasonably well. Thick ice usually calls for a dedicated ice chopper or scraper.
