That's his property tho...Also, much more control that a snow blower if a place to move the snow is a problem. I have a postage stamp yard that I pile minr up in. It melts by mid May usually.
I literally just found one of these laying in the grass beside my house. Never used one before, but now I am looking forward to it, this winter. Thanks for the video.
got ours last winter here in Vermont...total game changer when it comes to snow! Like so many others have said, only wish I would have gotten one ten years ago or so...great and useful tool...good vid!
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
Thank You for selling me on this Sled. A Very Nice Thoughtful Helpful Video You've Made. God Bless You, and You're Wife for making this Video. Job Well Done.
Great video, demonstration and insight for using this kind of shovel. I was looking for a more efficient method and have since purchased a snow scoop and am very impressed at how quick and easy it is to move even wet heavy snow.
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.
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!
Thanks for posting his Video/Demo. This will save many lower backs. I bought this shovel after watching this video. I do have a snowblower but still use this a lot with upto 6-8 inches of snow.
hi matt thanks for this vid . i just ordered this shovel and picking it up from home depot for 60 plus tax and im 64 years old and doing my driveway here upstate NY
🇨🇦my dad used these for years. In the 70s. Peavey mart. 65$ full price. But I found three in the garbage this summer. Perfectly good😊. Took it as a sign from dad. 😇
I know I'm 4 years late to the party, but after the third time falling in 30 minutes, I proclaimed "never again" (as I laid there trying to convince my body to move). I bought some Swedish studded boots and never fell again. Best money spent.
Love and have used the Garant Snow Sleigh Shovel as illustrated technique; one can literally build and mound up massive amounts of snow along ones driveway at least three to five times faster than doing it by using conventional snow shovels; by far the most efficient use of ones muscles to move a potential snow load indeed; the best thing of all is that even the heaviest and most densest moisture laden snow is able to be moved with seemingly no effort at all. Now one can even use two of these Garant Snow Sleigh Shovel and connect them together in dual side by side parallel configuration via wooden dowel rod across the horizontal push handle of both Garant Snow Sleigh Shovels and also using hose clamps to attach to the diagonal riser bar of both Garant Sleigh Shovels; in order so that they are connected together directly; this is done in order to move basically twice the potential snow volume per snow loading/ dumping trip evolution(doing it this way one will be able to move enough actual snow volume to equal very close to a cheap electric snow blower)!!!
I'm always faster than a snow blower, but I have an actual Canadian shovel that is about 6" wider than the one pictured here. They are also twice the price. You were spot on up till the end, a small electric doesn't stand a chance, especially in wet or heavy snow.
Nice! And here I thought I was a genius for coming up with this before searching for a video. With a terrible back, I need all the help I can get ! I'm definitely going to buy one. Thanks for the video! Edit: I was so excited while watching that I only made it 1/3 or less into it.
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.
I have a big snowblower, but I still love this thing, perfect for medium depth of snow. I use this 90% of the time, occasionally bring out the big one for a snow storm. Everyone should have one in their home.
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
I'm Grandpa Terry, 68 years old. I love to move snow. I do a 30x50 foot plus 20x50 foot driveway and a 16x20 foot deck with homemade tools. Sometimes I do the next door neighbor's driveway to. I have owned two Yooper Scoopers, two Suncast scoops and a True Temper scoop. My favorite is a 4x8 foot plastic panel that I use pretty much like the video. It moves two to four times as much per trip as the others.
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.
Agreed its a great shovel! I was researching a better way to shovel & came across ones with wheels etc, but settled on the garant sleigh. I received it & got to try it the week before in New Jersey. I was thrilled on how much quicker & effortless it was. I promptly ordered a couple more as Christmas presents.
it's like doing a bench press or push up, grabs large volumes of snow, slides it like a wheel barrow, and dumping it is slightly lifting !!!! also plows if needed !!
It's a good shovel, I have their biggest one. But it is rather heavy. Suncast makes two similar shovel. A standard full size and a shorter shovel version Get the standard. It is much lighter than the Garant and moves snow much easier. One tip, don't create a cliff at the edge but more of a slope that rises away from the edge of the drive. Blowing and drifting snow will not Bank up at the edge of the driveway and subsequent snow falls can be slid over the slope instead of having to be pushed up a snow bank.
Moved to the midwest from the south a few years ago (wife is from here, missed her family). Did the first winter with a regular snow shovel and then the second winter, we just kept getting dumped on day after day for weeks. Finally broke down and got a snowblower. 30+ minutes in the morning and 30+ minutes getting home after work for a driveway that's only 30 feet long was ridiculous. Now I'm done in 5 minutes twice a day on the worst snow days. if you can afford a snow blower, even a single stage, I highly recommend it over relying on a shovel or whatever.

Amazon has a few that are somewhat similar. The prices range from $70-$274. I just searched and ACE h/w has one for $65. I'm getting one ASAP. The roads are still frozen, and my tread is bad. It's still there, but it ain't summertime 😁
Nice video! I think I’m going to get rid of the snowblower and replace it with one of these bad boys. Good and healthy exercise, and more room in the garage 💪
I used mine for the first time in the 1/23/2016 storm, one foot of snow. I used mine just like this in this video! I'm a 75 year old lady and actually enjoyed shoveling snow with this. I didn't even have to stop to rest. Posted a mini video: ruclips.net/video/SYbyfxb5Jrk/видео.html But didn't have anyone to film me.
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...
Great video! I love your passion! I live in a place where the snow never gets packed like yours. So I am shoveling the sidewalks. How well will this work when I am "sledding" across the sidewalk instead of packed snow? Will I grind up the sled surface and it won't be as smooth? Will I kill it?
ebangsund if you ride the shovel over concrete, it’ll eventually chew up the shovel. This shovel needs snow to ride over. If you have 2 inches of snow or more, it’ll work fine.
@@mmorano98 thanks for the reply! So maybe I need to get a more conventional snow shovel. We rarely get snow. And it doesn't stay around very long. I was looking for a solution that would allow me to help the neighbors without getting too tired!
mine catches too much on my driveway, i ended up using my old shovel. after watching this video i see how this shovel can be used to relocate piles of snow tho... thanx
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?*
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 .
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.
@@mmorano98 For huge snowfalls maybe that's the best. (I don't know b/c I've never used one.) Nice job on your video, by the way. You've very likable in it. All the best.
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
Excellent video. Does it work on snowball made by city run snow car? each time city car clear the lane and it creates snow ball like blockade in front of my garage door. Do you think this shovel can push that ball easily?
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.
Hi I’m here from the future year 2020 and let me tell you brother we have robits now for this no more shoveling snow of anykind oh yea and trump was elected for another term
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.

I moved to Nome Alaska 6 years ago, never seen a shovel like this before, everyone in town has one. It is the best snow moving invention ever
Finally! A shovel that is engineered to dump snow in your neighbor's yard! Awesome!!

i love my garant snow sleigh. I wish they made one that that was double wide. Like a 62inch snow sleigh.
Fiskars makes one exactly like this in 59inch
Good stuff! Thank you. I've got to change the methodology now to preserve myself. Garant 24" wide costs $40 in Lowes or Home Depot Canada.
Glad you liked it. At $40, it's a steal. Good luck!
Just ordered one. Friends in VT told me about it. Can't wait to use it. Thanks for taping this.
I hand shovel a half mile driveway. I have a propane truck coming in two days. About a foot of snow on the driveway. Not a task for the fainthearted!
best video ever.
Thanks for the demo. with that driveway a snowblower would be great (probably not as good for your cardio thought :) )
are you in the North east United States. Really good demonstration!
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.
The problem with this shovel is few people are willing to exert themselves. That said, they work extremely well for those that aren't completely soft.
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

Ok! I’m going to try it. Thanks!
That could also be a good shovel for beginners
How does this shovel work with heavy wet snow?
Its MOST useful with wet heavy snow. You need a little strength.
@@mmorano98 Awesome, thanks Matt. I'm just getting ready to order the Garant 24" online from Ace Hardware. Let the snow come:)
