Prepare for snowy conditions this winter with a snow shovel or pusher from Ace Hardware. Whether you’re hit by a few flurries or covered under many feet of snow, our selection of essential winter shovels can help you dig out quickly.

Prepare for a Winter Storm with Snow Pushers 

A snow shovel is one of the most essential winter items that every household should have on hand during cold weather months. Winter weather can accumulate quickly, dumping inches or feet of snow in no time at all. From cleaning your sidewalk to digging out your car, snow shovels and snow pushers help you get the job done quickly and efficiently. Find a variety of these winter tools in a range of sizes and styles.

Snow Shovel Types

Snow shovels come in three primary types, and each offers a unique way to rid your sidewalk and driveway of snow.

  • Traditional snow shovel:  Snow shovels typically feature a mostly flat rectangular blade, usually 18 to 24 inches in length. They are well suited for lifting and removing snow from sidewalks and smaller areas that cannot be accessed by larger devices like snow blowers.
  • Snow Pusher: Also known as snow pusher shovels, snow pushers feature a large, curved blade which functions more like a plow to quickly move larger amounts of snow.
  • Combination snow shovels: A scooped design takes the best attributes from both a traditional shovel and a snow pusher. The scooped design of a snow plow shovel allows for both the lifting and pushing of snow without being overly large to create loads too heavy to lift.

Plastic vs Metal Snow Shovel Options

The material your shovel or pusher is made from is important for how you work. You’ll typically choose between metal and plastic models.

  • Metal snow shovel: Usually made from lightweight aluminum, these snow shovels are durable and can handle extremely cold temperatures. Snow tends to stick to them, which may make longer tasks more difficult. Aluminum snow shovels are good for clearing heavy snow and scraping ice.
  • Plastic snow shovel: Poly snow shovels are lightweight, do not warp while shoveling and snow doesn’t stick to them. They are great for clearing soft snow. However, they run the risk of cracking under extreme weight or cold conditions.

Shoveling Safety Tips and Best Practices

No matter which snow removal device you choose, there are some tips to keep in mind both when buying and when shoveling.

  • Ergonomic snow shovels are designed to be lightweight and easier to maneuver, requiring minimal stooping and bending.
  • Always warm up and stretch prior to shoveling snow. Make sure to use proper technique to help avoid injury.
  • Incorporate ice melts and ice scrapers into your winter weather management routine for optimal results when shoveling.
  • For excessive snowfall, consider using a snow blower to lighten your load and make quick work of difficult tasks.
