Nordic Auto PlowPerfect Shovel, 36" L

this is our 2nd one we had the other one for 5 years and it is wearing out

I gave it two stars because the idea was right, but the reliability was horrible. I wanted to be prepared so Inbought this well ahead of the snow season. The first snow fall I was excited to use it and it did a great job! Was so glad to have found a solution.2nd snow fall... like the other review, busted right in half. This was even with light powder snow. Not even pushing wet snow.Ultimately, the idea of this shovel is great, but at this point, I’d rather buy 10 crappy shovels that work. For $100 you’d expect them to have tested it out for a whole season.In the pictures you can see the little plastic dovetails that are glued in to hold this together. When one of those fails, your done.

I love to be able to push a bunch of snow, works really well. Unfortunately in upstate NY it must be to cold for the plastic because the end started breaking off, also the hardware is to thin for heavy snow, it bends

I purchased this for the 2016 blizzard. Paid extra for overnight delivery. Was incredibly impressed with ease of assembly. Utterly amazed at how well it worked. I let snow accumulate to about 3 inches and had our 200 foot drive shoveled in one tenth the time it used to take me.And then the plow-blade broke. See picture.The plow-blade is made up of 3 sections - failure #1. There is no metal continuous beam on the middle where the metal handles affix - failure #2. There is no metal continuous beam along the top and bottom - failure #3. While there are some metal bolts that join the three sections of the plow-blade together the bulk of what joins them is plastic - failure #4.

Works great. Even my wife likes to use it. Quickly clears those small snowfalls that don't warrant dragging out the snow thrower. Clears a wide swath on each trip down the asphalt driveway Handgrips are great: comfortable and very controllable.

I bought this well in advance of cold weather everything went together easily, until I affixed the handle, it would not go down to show the holes. So I took one wedge off so that the handles would line up and had the wack the 45 degree curve in the handle on both side several times with a rubber mallet to get it down far enough to allow the holes to line up so I could slide in the pins, then I had to use a heavy shank phillips screw driver to get them to line up all the way so the pins would slide in the way they are supposed to. Even though I used a rubber mallet in took some paint off, so I'm going to have to get some black rustoleum spray paint and touch it up, before we get any snow deep enough to warrant use of the plow shovel. Since I wasn't sure how this was going to work, I also bought a snow joe snow blower, to hedge my bets and after reading the other reviews, I'm glad I did. Can't have a failure in the middle of snow season.
