Snow pusher hand plow for clearing snow, Digi Mart USA News: Clearing snow one shovelful at a time is tiring, and fresh snowfall can quickly cover areas that were just cleared. A snow pusher with a wider blade offers an alternative to a standard shovel without the cost of a gas or electric snow blower, which can exceed $1,000.
A publisher review highlights the Best Choice Products Heavy-Duty 2-Wheel Snow Pusher Hand Plow, which carries an Amazon’s Choice label and a 4.4-star rating from more than 1,000 reviews. The design includes wheels and an adjustable handle that can be set from 33½ to 51 inches tall, and the blade can be angled 30 degrees to the left or right to both gather and push snow aside.
According to the review, customers say the tool works best on fresh snow only a few inches deep. Its blade is 10 inches tall, so it may not be practical for multi-foot drifts, and a shovel may still be needed to remove deeper top layers or to clear narrow spaces.
One customer suggested using short, angled, side-to-side movements to make pushing easier and avoid a large pile at the end of the driveway.
The pusher is offered in two sizes. The large model has a 36-inch blade and costs $99.99, while the extra-large model has a 48-inch blade and costs $129.99, according to the review.
The review notes that the wider model covers more surface area and may suit long driveways, but it weighs more, at 27½ pounds compared with 25 pounds for the large model, which may matter when pushing uphill.
