    Finally used mine that I purchased second hand for 10 bucks, today. Zero strain on the back. Four car driveway. 9 inches of heavy wet snow. No issues. I did make two passes, halfway through the storm. Even with the real heavy slush stuff the town plow leaves at the end of the driveway. Best 10 bucks I ever spent.

    They work great for wet, heavy snow, which can be hard on snowblower belts I have a large deck that's low and has no railings, so this works great in removing that extra snow

  • @JTOTHEW3000
    @JTOTHEW3000 Год назад

    I would always take the next pass half the width of the shovel. It may take more passes. But, you will not have the snow going over the sides of the shovel...I wonder how this would do in heavy wet snow or the compacted snow you get when you take off the roof. If this worked for the compacted snow. It would be a game changer for me...

    On my way to buy one of these. So fed up with crazy city power that makes a huge ridge right at my driveway with even 2 feet of snow so non of my snow blowers nor a regular snow truck can clear it and Bobcat owners know how to charge you (Can't blame them leaving the machine useless for 8-9 months a year). This thing seems really good for that heavy icy wet ridge at the property, main road junction, and the rest.

    Thanks for making this video, Matt! (Or should I say _younger Matt...?)_ 😇 I have a question: My sleigh shovel *broke* last evening. I was occasionally tipping it left and right to dump snow, and the two plastic ring areas at the top of the shovel snapped off. So, instead of there being two 2"-long supportive tubes at the top of the shovel to hold the metal handle tubes, there are two broken-plastic stubs. We tried epoxying it back together, but that didn't hold. It seems to work okay just to push the handle bars down a little further -- although there is a slight piston-like motion there when I'm pulling or pushing with the handle. I may try jamming something in there with the metal tubes, like tin foil or cardboard to help them stay put. *Does you have any experience (or suggestions) regarding this kind of repair?*

    I just bought one very similar to yours at Canadian Tire and we had a bunch of wet snow last night. It worked perfectly, much easier to shovel snow and the best part is once the shovel is full of snow you just sled it to a dump pile and as such don't have to strain your back lifting the shovel full of snow. Also because you don't have to lift it, its size is pretty big and fits a lot of snow so that makes the job a lot quicker!

    I’ve owned a blue Garant sleigh shovel for several years. I rate it a 9 out of 10 product. My only complaint is that the shovel’s metal blade fell off last year and I could not find it! (I would try and glue it back on). Garant used to sell replacement blades a couple years ago, but not any longer for some reason.

    Honestly I think a snow blower will get that done a little bit faster I use a Toro power clear my Toro power cleaner will get that cleaned up a little bit faster in my opinion because I run a business on snow removal and landscaping and I don't have time to shovel it like that so I just use the snow blower and just blow it all into one side

  • @jhmorgan72753

  • @00708046
    @00708046 2 года назад

    Wax your snow shovel so the snow doesn't stick. Also , better to work in reverse if the snow is heavy and wet so that you don't pack it down before shovelling it .

  • @Wigglythegreat2

    When my snow blower died, I used this to remove massive amounts of snow from my driveway. The snow pile I built off the side of my driveway looked about the size of a car and probably weighed close to one. It's amazing to move that much weight in a relatively short time with a plastic sleigh shovel. Using a regular shovel would have destroyed my back.

    Nothing against this video, and I know a lot of people love this 'snow sleigh'. I bought one with high hopes based on all the positive reviews, and used it for several years, exactly as he demonstrates. Bottom line: I came not to really like it that well. It's extremely large and after deep and/or wet snows, the bucket often fills up with a load too heavy to easily move farther along. Therefore you have to get it to the side of the driveway to dump it, which is not an effortless procedure. Also, for any 'precision' shoveling (tighter spots), it is quite unwieldy. Just my two cents. I have now found my ideal shovel combo.

    the shovel has been eliminated by the snow plow with wheels you don't have to lift the snow if you use a snow plow just push it and with a dual angle snow plow you use the same energy you would use with a snow blower at a fourth of the cost here's a video of one being used Ivation Dual Angle Snow Pusher - Manual Push Plow ruclips.net/video/iOqUAqsHHKU/видео.html

      Yes. I think it will handle that. Just bought a new shovel. Old one tore at bottom of bucket after 5 years of heavy service. Snow blowers are faster but I can shovel driveway very fast and don’t have to bother getting snow blower out of the shed. Get a little exercise too but not kill myself. I’ve moved massive chunks of snow with this shovel relatively easily.
