Default Snow Shoveler?

Or whatever the hell they're called...the thing that ppl use during winter to rape the snows on the driveway...

I'm planning to get my mom one as a present this year so it'll be easier for us to shovel up the snow on our driveway.

Is there any tips at looking at these badboys? Which brand to get and what feature should I be looking at?? Need something can be maintaned easily by woman...and of course, has to be durable...the one my neighbor has is really big and shovel the snow easily, but he told me the thing died 3 times last winter...and it was only 2 years old.

Anyways, your advices would be appreicated.... thanks in advance!

Do what Nimesh does, pay 10 kids 50 cents each to shovel.

On his tiny court, Nimesh is king.

It really depends on how much $$ you want to spend.

I agree with Simon in that Honda makes top-notch stuff - however, they're pretty pricy. If that doesn't matter, go Honda.

If you're looking for something a bit cheaper, I'd suggest you take a close look at Craftsman at Crappy Tire. They're very competetively priced and very solidly built - plus a great warrantee.

One word of advice, make sure you get a METAL one. There's quite a few plastic ones on the market now and although they're lighter, they're crap.

Good luck Benette

Thanks for the inputs guys!!!

I looked up the Honda ones...they're kinda out of my budget....right now I'm thinking of getting a bigger wheeled one so it won't be too slippery...and a metal one like Rob mentioned...so the price range will be above 800+ or so...

Going to visit Can.Tie today see what I can find...
