Let's me shovel!
on January 3, 2024
Posted by: oboe2
I have a total reverse shoulder replacement, so the lifting I do is restricted. This shovel allows me to use my good arm to lift and my weaker arm to push. This shovel makes shoveling possible.

Love the shovel except the metal screeching noise

I previously owned the same shovel but without the metal strip. The metal strip scrapes and on the floor and makes a screeching noise.
I only wished this metal strip was not added!

Great idea, but metal scraper needs work.

Good shovel that really helps with lifting heavy snow properly. Unfortunately, the aluminum strip is not attached by any fasteners and falls off, making the shovel much less useful for scraping snow off the cement. I've only used it about 6 times. Luckily I found the piece. This should be either better designed or replacement aluminum should be available.

Best snow shoveI I ever used !

I'm 70 years old, lived thru New England snow storms most of my life. Used many different snow shovels. Purchased this Snow Joe SJ-SHLV01 Shovelution Strain-Reducing Snow Shovel and was amazed how much easier it was to shovel snow. The concept of the second shovel handle made a huge difference. Watch the video on it being used and you'll want one. . . . I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.

Just got to use mine today. I'm 71 years old and traditional shovels took there toll on my back.. you don't have to bend over as much with this shovel. Still got to do the work, but I appreciate all the help I can get.

Smart Design That Really Reduces the Strain!

Great shovel! Arrived well-packaged with all parts included. Easy to assemble in just a few minutes, and the manual was clear and helpful. The spring-assisted handle really makes a difference — much less strain on my back and easy to lift heavy snow. Lightweight, sturdy, and works exactly as described. Highly recommend!

Good but one problem.
on January 16, 2026

I purchased this shovel a couple of years ago. It would have been a 5 star for ease of use and ending back strain but the metal edge fell off and the naked plastic edge is now vulnerable to damage. I can only use it for soft light snow
