UnionTools1602100 Union Tools Poly Snow Pusher, 30-Inch,Blue

This is still my favorite shovel an I thank you for making it available! It is not overly heavy. The design keeps the snow in place quite well. Making it so that everything is not running off the side.Yes the hard plastic make up of the shovel will wear out..but I must tell you this is what I love about this shovel. As the edge is worn away, the shovel takes on an almost custom fit. Cleanly clearing snow at the perfect angle for the individual user.Yes I will buy again! As a matter of fact this is my 3rd over the last 20 some year.

Delivered on time and in good condition. It is for next years's snow, so I don't know how it will actually work, but it looks and feels good and sturdy.Pros: Good solid poly blade and wooden handle.The blade is wide, and should allow for less strokes to finish the snow removal.Con: (its something I easily remedied) : The quick connect, where the wooden handle connects to the Poly Blade. It has wiggle room which means the shovel handle moves , side to side and Up and down, inside the blade. So it is not stable. The movement of the handle is a weak point which could cause the handle to break the quick connect poly connection.my remedy was to take a tooth pick, break it into three sections, and insert them around the wooden handle to tighten and strengthen the connection. I'll find out if it works, next snow season,

When I left Maryland for Montana 17 years ago a friend gave me this shovel. Never having a shovel before I liked it. Lasted a long time, the top of handle broke off but it still worked, finally died and I went through lots of shovels, I now have a shed full of them. Exasperated, I looked online. Ordered one for a friend too. It's light folks, you don't need a metal edge if you are SNOW shoveling and didn't wait days to shovel through the melted ice below.......JANUARY 27....okay I confess I wrote that before I got it, but i knew it would still be a great shovel. I got it (them, I ordered one for a friend) at the PO last week, everyone wanted to know what was so special about this shovel that I would order one when I lived a block from the hardware store! It was great fun explaining in the parking lot. It snowed a lot today and I have been out twice shoveling, pushing all around my block. So easy, light, it just glides. Again, you don't need a metal edge if you don't wait for the snow to melt, then freeze again underneath. Great, easy cardio.

Great Product.

I made my purchase decision based on the item description (Arctic Blast 30" Poly Snow Pusher; "AMES TRUE TEMPER" SNOW PUSHER"), the item pictured and the price. Why? Because I already owned that exact shovel and was looking to replace it. My order was placed with Big Red Toolbox for a decent price ($34.81) and free shipping.What I received is the shovel pictured in the ad for UnionTools 30-Inch Snow Pusher with Hardwood Handle - 1602100. Black poly scoop, wood handle with green Union Tools logo. Huh?Now, I can tell you that the shovels are functionally equivalent and even constructed identically. Only difference is the color and the logo.But go to the Union Tools version and find it for $4.00 less that this one. Same shovel, save $4.Minor annoyances: handle on the new shovel was loose at both the scoop end and the D-grip end.Oh, yeah, and as others noted, there is no metal edge (didn't want that) and these things only last a couple of seasons before the scoop is worn out/curled up in the middle of the leading edge. Nothing will ever replace the original True Temper Actic Wind 26" turquoise snow pusher.

Great shovel.

This is just what I needed, I have a older Union pusher shovel, it wore out. I had it for 7 years. I put this one to work the day after I received it. The seller did a good job beating the estimated arrival date! I recommend only using this shovel to push snow, don't attempt to use it on snow that is sitting on top of ice. There is no metal strip on this one. It is a snow pusher, not an ice breaker! If you use it on ice, prepare to buy a replacement pretty quickly. It's not made for use on ice or attempting to break through ice to clear off of your sidewalk or driveway. It's light weight and sturdy. I actually call it a pusher/shovel, you can push show that isn't too deep, yet you can use it to scoop and sling snow that is very deep. I am happy with my purchase, it does what I bought it to do.

First thing I did when I got this item was to correct the handle being loose on the snow pusher was: I removed the plastic lock device from the handle and where the locking device was I wrapped the handle with a single layer of black electrical tape, replaced the locking device and inserted the handle into the poly snow pusher - results no more loose handle. The second thing I did was install a hose clamp on the portion of the pusher where the handle is inserted, thus making it less likely to crack. Thanks to other comments about these two problems I was able to correct them before I had any loose handle or cracking poly problems. Hope the things I did to correct the problems also helps some other people that purchase this snow pusher, otherwise this poly snow pusher seems very sturdy and rugged.
