A snow shovel is essential for every summer resident, and for those city dwellers who have a car, this tool will also come in handy.
Since there are many different types of shovels available in stores, it is important to choose the one that is most comfortable and reliable – after all, we only have one back…
Our tips will help you choose the right shovel that will serve you for a long time and effectively.
Perhaps the most inexpensive and therefore most popular option is a shovel with a plastic bucket, so we will talk about it today.
When choosing a plastic snow shovel, you should consider the following parameters.
Shovel width
Wider shovels allow you to remove snow faster, but they are also heavier. The standard width is 50 cm, but for easier work you can choose a narrower model - 40 or 35 cm.
Presence of sides
The higher the side, the less likely it is that snow will spill out.
Edge protection
The metal strip on the cutting edge reduces the risk of breakage of the shovel when hitting hard objects.
Handle and power handle
For people who are not particularly physically fit, it is recommended to choose a shovel with a curved handle and an additional power handle to reduce the load on the back and arms.
