It works great. The best technique I've found is to push it with one arm underhanded from the main grip to gather the snow, then grab the spring loaded handle with the other hand to throw the snow. It is definitely a back-saver.
Excellent shovel! You can move move several inches of snow with minimal bending. Easy to assemble.

I went out to our first snowfall since purchasing the shovel not sure what to expect. I am 5 ft tall and over 60. I was so pleased that the extra handle really did make a difference. NO bending! Made it so much easier to clear areas. I also just purchased the Snow Joe ion shovel. I was happy with that but some of the snow was not as easy to move since it was slushy. The shovel with the handle was a great help
Definite Back Saver. Makes shoveling so much easier!

My husband is 91 years old, really shouldn’t be shoveling snow, but it’s a guy thing I guess. Broke his hip a little over a year ago, has a bad back. Loves the ease of show shovel. Shoveled our driveway, sidewalk and the neithbor’s too. His back is not hurting like it would with a regular shovel. Plans to bowl tomorrow after shoveling.
No More Back Pain/Strain, I'm over 70, a disabled VET and this shovel, makes it much easier to move snow, Wish they would have come up with this design YEARS ago. Love this Shovel.
