The shovel arrived in a relatively small box that was incredibly light. I opened the box and it was modular and as stated light weight. The plastic in the shovel is more pliable than I had expected. I suspect that is part of the design so you do not get to over aggressive with it. The shovel works like a charm when it comes to light snow but is not for the crusty frozen stuff. The 2 handle design is fantastic, and saves your back once you get the knack of it. I would purchase it again even with knowing its limitations.

A good improvement on an old tool

I have issues with some Lumbar disks, and I am 6 feet tall. This is certainly a big improvement over a conventional shovel. However, I found myself stooping some, an extra couple of inches in length would be welcome. I also wonder if the point where the spring arm is attached to the handle, had the ability to swivel 15 or 20 degrees in either direction, if this would eliminate some twisting of the back.

My brother sent me one for Christmas 7-8 years ago. It's still going strong and we have an 8-14" storm coming in tonight. I am now 70 and still shoveling

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

https://snowjoe.blob.core.windows.net/images/SJ-SHVL01-1.jpg THE BEST SHOVEL. I AM 4' 11'' AND FOR ME THIS WAS PERFECT AND EASY TO USE DUE TO THE MIDDLE HANDLE AND EASY TO SHAKE OFF THE SNOW. THANKS
