Wheeled Snow Shovel Pusher

I bought this wheeled shovel with some reluctance based upon a couple of the reviews. Yes it does have some cheap bolts and nuts, so right away I bought some stainless steel ones to replace them and the directions were not the best. I also used nuts with the nylon locking insert. I was a bit surprised that the wheels were plastic. The blade itself is heavy steel and is a somewhat of a deep blade. The handle could be a little heavier gauge steel but if it ever bends from use, I intend to replace it with a heavier gauge pipe. The price was right though.After using it 3 times on some 6" snow, I am very pleased. It works like a charm and the wheels make a huge difference in the effort along with the wide 30" blade. I am very happy with the purchase.

I like this wheeled shobel. This wheeled shovel would get a 5 star rating if they would include all of the nuts and bolts needed to put it together. Some of the bolts were missing from the package.The bolts should be longer and include locking washers. I needed to buy new mounting hardware after the first use.The first time I used it with the included hardware I lost most of the nuts and bolts and the shovel fell apart.After installing new hardware, the shovel worked perfectly. It is well made. The blade is solid metal. I was able to push 6 inches of light snow with no problem. I am now very satisfide with the shovel.If you need something like this, this is the one to buy. The price is ritght.Before you put it together, go out and buy longer bolts and some lock washers and or lock nuts and it won't fall apart as mine did the first time you use it.

The instructions for this were the worst I have ever seen. There wasn't even a decent photograph to show what it looks like from the back. The illustration is so small you can't tell where half the stuff belongs. The screws were not the size as stated. I don't know how well they'll hold up. Frankly, I got so frustrated, I was ready to ship it back, but the box it came in barely made it here -- there was no way it would make it back to the company. I have no idea if customer service would have been helpful because they were closed when I was putting it together.I finally figured it out, and took it out for a test drive before the snow got deeper. It worked fairly well. Much faster than using a regular shovel. It's going to take a few more uses before I decide if it gets a higher rating. The instructions are the main reason it gets no more than three.

I used this shovel for the first time when we got six inches of snow. Used it on my driveway and after about 10 minutes gave up and used my $20 snow shovel without wheels. The wheels are so small that its just like using a shovel without wheels, the wheels make it more difficult to push the snow. I feel if the wheels were larger and the blade was on an angle this shovel would be more effective at removing more then two inches of snow.

Bought it expecting to love it. Instructions for assembly were poorly written & poorly printed, not helpful. I contacted seller. He had no additional instruction and offered no solution except to return it. To return it- I would have to dismantle it, get back in original box(not sure that could work) plus the cost to return was too high. It was easier to keep it and almost cheaper to keep it and just through it away. Waste of money and time and effort. Lots of pieces, assembly required and no clear instruction. Don't buy.

Yes this is a great idea. Just four days ago we had a 10 inch snowfall that required a snow blower to clear our driveway. Now we get a dusting to an inch of snow that measured four inches in our driveway. The wheeled shovel worked perfectly simply pushing the fresh snow off of the driveway. The trick is to install the blade at the right pitch for ease of use and the correct angle of the blade as it skims the macadam surface. It was easier than pushing a lawn mower, and the wheels were great when pulling back to begin another "push" of the snow, not having to either pick up the shovel, not drag it across the driveway. My neighbors all want to borrow it now; I told them to just go buy their own.

The item has a nice heavy blade, but getting the thing together is a problem. I am a carpenter, so I have a lot of tools at my disposal. None of the holes line up where you have to attach one piece to another. You will need a drill and the proper size bit to ream the holes in order to get the bolts in. When you attach the parts to the blade, which in turn connect to the handle, are nowhere near square to the blade. I had to use two 3 foot bar clamps and over bend them to get them square. If I didn't do that I could not get the axle in line to accept the wheels and cotter pins. The instructions are useless. They assume everything will line up, but it doesn't. After it is together, it works beautifully. That is why I still gave it a 4 even with the aggravation

As noted elsewhere instructions are pretty useless. On assembly I did add separate lock washers and so far all bolts remain tight. It did require both SAE and metric tools to use the bolts. Definitely check angle of handle for height of user before tightening those bolts. Also it was tricky getting the second cotter pin in place. I balanced the hub of the end with the cotter pin in place on like a 2x2" block, applied pressure downward to expose the second hole in the axel to push in the 2nd cotter pin. It is a pretty solid piece of equipment. Blade very sturdy. The unit could use a bar half way down the handle to enable carrying it. I have major back issues and I find that pushing 1-2" of light powdery snow is fine. Heavier or more depth I really feel it in my low back. The other thing to keep in mind is the need to push the snow off the driveway far enough. Since the snow is not lifted the snow build up starts to creep in from the sides of the driveway surface. If you have a wall on one side all the snow will have to get pushed to the open side. Just need to consider best approach to plowing before starting. We had 2 1/2" of really heavy , wet snow. Couldn't push it.
