It was very easy to put together. I haven't used it for snow yet but I did use it to pickup my leaves and it works great. It's a beautiful shovel and very easy to use.
It does pretty well at being a shovel. However, after leaving it out and then using it on a warmer day, this rust colored water came pouring out of it. I saw the drips in the snow and thought I was bleeding but then I found the source to be the shovel. I am hoping the fluid does not stain the pavers and my clothing. If it is just rust, what does that say about how these fasteners will last the seasons?
Blizzard of 2017 came and the heavy snow put my show blower out of commission. Turned to this guy to shovel the snow that was up past my knees and get enough of a path to get out and get on my way. Way less energy to use then a standard snow shovel.
After using the snow joe back saving snow shovel with spring assist it works with your left or right hand . It is real light and easy to use. I would rather use this shovel instead of my regular shovel which I have had for years. I can say that after a couple times using it

I live in Pittsburgh, PA and although I received the shovel earlier in January, this morning, 1/30/17, was the first opportunity to use it on a light snow. It seems to work fine, but I suppose usage under a heavier snowfall will be more telling, not that I am looking forward to that! It was a very cold morning, around 25 degrees, and the snow stuck to the shovel. I wonder if spraying the shovel with silicone spray alleviate this situation without damaging the shovel itself.
