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!
on October 29, 2025

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 news; bad news
on January 2, 2026
Posted by: Buried
from Edinboro, PA
We live in NW PA and have had over two feet of snow this week alone (and it's still coming down). In short, I use my 18" SJ shovel - A LOT! On the plus side, it has held-up well and does reduce strain by providing various shoveling options/angles. I like it A LOT! The bad news? Today, the spring assist handle rusted through and broke off. The date on the label says 2016. So, yes...it's "old" and has had a good run. Still, it seems like a design flaw to construct such an essential part out of metal for use shoveling what is basically frozen water. Having to replace the whole shovel because there is no replacement part seems "unfair."
