Tough shovel, wide head, low profile scoop, built heavy like a tank. I think the people who want this shovel are like farmers who NEVER complain about really tuff work and want something well made and durable.
Took several weeks to receive even with Amazon Prime, shipped by Amazon.
The heavy, thick blade makes it durable and good for chopping ice and scraping lumps. The width is good for scooping but, is too wide for digging through packed down, trampled snow. The wider a head the less pressure to scrape and dig in with so you have to chop it loose, first.
Again, this shove is a good shovel and will last many years BUT honestly, it would lose in a long race with a lighter shovel and a dedicated ice chipper/scraper.
It is heavy enough that for most people, long, continuous jobs will give you a hell of a work out and tire you fast and you'll look just like city workers you make fun of taking many breaks. Think of when you used a 16+ lb sledge hammer and you took breaks every 5 minutes (even small breaks) of intense hammering. That is how I was when I used this shovel to help a friend make a path for his forklift (no tire chains) on a lot of packed snow and thickly iced asphalt. In comparisson, I shoveled heavy, icy snow for 6-8 hrs straight for 5 days with lighter shovels.
A good average scraping shovel might be a long handle 11" wide x 11" square nose steel shovel, but I can't find one that size. A standard square nose is 11x9".
