User questions & answers

Question:	Does this shovel have a sharp blade
Answer:	UHMW Poly Blade
Question:	Is the d-handle hollow? Because of arthritis in my hands, I like to slip a 2-foot dowel through the handle and be able to use my chest to push it
Answer:	The snow pusher is set up to push in a straight line. The blade is fixed. It works best for me if I shovel at a slight diagonal so I don't leave a "wake" of snow on both sides. It is half as light as Amazon's steel pushers. If I bought again, I would get the 48 inch snow pusher.
Question:	Are these angled to act like a plow
Answer:	shaft diameter is approximately 1 1/8"
Question:	How easy is this to assemble
Answer:	The Revolution Line does not have the EZ Glide Edge. The EZ Glide Edge is a replaceable wear strip that is over 1.5" wide on the bottom that allows you to clear snow on uneven surfaces without sudden stops. The EZ Glide Edge is a wear item and will last 300-350 shoveling hours. The Revolution Blade is designed so that when you wear the bottom edge, you can rotate it bottom to top to double the live of your blade. The Revolution blade will last about 75 shoveling hours per edge or 150 hours before you need to replace the blade. Replacing the blade is a fraction of the cost of a new piece of equipment. The Revolution model works great on relatively smooth surfaces. The PRO model works great on all surfaces. The PRO line is the choice of Heavy Users and Contractors.

User questions & answers

Question:	The description says it is a 6 pack. Is this really the case? I bought this 3 years ago however it was just one. Has it maybe changed
Answer:	Yes all plastic. I love this style shovel for snow. I would like this shovel more if it was a little longer. I haven't used it yet. I'm about 5'11 and if it were about 3 inches taller it would be ideal. Quality seems decent. I expect to have for a long time. It's all one piece.
Question:	What country builds this shovel
Answer:	Hi I don’t see that model snow blower number on the part number list in the description I would search some more has to be there somewhere ...

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be used on ice or frozen snow banks? Like when the snow plow comes through and puts a burm in your driveway
Answer:	Makes it impractical to purchase if the shipping is $135 overpriced. The scoop can be purchased locally for about $50.
Question:	So is this 100% poly or is it steel dipped in poly
Answer:	I have never seen one. And I have never worn one out or damaged it in any way. I use a square point steel shovel for the packed snow (from vehicle tires) on cement part of my driveway in front of garage and the berm left at end of driveway buy city snow plow. I prefer a wood handle on very cold days. Actually I have about 15 show shovels and have removed the "wear strip" from half that had them. The wear strip on average shovels catches on cracks and such in concrete. The rounded front on the Sleigh Shovel works better. As I get older and my back gets worse, I mostly pack down snow by driving on it repeatedly on first 5 inches of snow that sticks. That gives me a firm rock free base over my mostly rock driveway to run my snow throwers on. So far I have only replaced one of the shear or breakaway pins on snow blowers rotating blade. We get mostly powder snow and only about 50 inches a year. 50 inches of snow theoretically melts down to maybe a half inch of water. In the real world car tires pack it down to maybe 8 inches of packed snow, in none melted.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Asof 1/1/21 this is $3 cheaper at Home Depot. How much is your time and gas worth to you?
Question:	Does it actually take 1-2 months to ship
Answer:	The cotter pins that hold the wheels onto the axles are very commonly found in pretty much all hardware stores for pennies. You may have to buy a couple of sizes to get one that fits the diameter of the hole in the axle. A paper clip may bet you by in the short term until you can get to the store.

User questions & answers

User questions & answers

Question:	is the shovel assembled when shipped
Answer:	I received mine and it does not appear that the shovel locks onto the wooden pole. Up to the screw and then it appears to stop before it should click in and lock. Hmmmm?
Question:	is the blade steel or aluminum
Answer:	Buy the YPP24KLU Yukon 24 inch Heavy Duty poly snow pusher. It's 3 times as thick, a commercial shovel. I bought the shovel you have. It's loud and drags more. The Yukon glides along, less effort, lasts way longer, and is quiet. I plow commercially in Michigan and we can use these all night and not wake up customers. I get two or three seasons on 80 walks and 13 snowfalls over 2 inches annually. If your just doing your place, you may never need another one.
Question:	How heavy is the ash handle? Love my current aluminum snow pusher handle, but can't find another one
Answer:	No steel wear strip, they are very tough, my first one lasted 7 or 8 Michigan winters of 20 by 60' foot asfault drive and paved turn circle shoveling. I liked it so well I bought a second one. They are great for pushing snow, and light enough if you have to lift the snow over the edge of a bank.
Question:	Does this have a wood or steel handle
Answer:	NO, in the 2019 version, it did not come fully assembled. Two parts were delivered at a separate time during the same day!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have a steel wear strip and can you just purchase a replacement wear strip
Answer:	I believe there is.
Question:	Considering buying the garant or thesnowplow shovel. anyone have experience with both and which one they like better? thanks
Answer:	Battery is included.... :)
Question:	Can you purchase just a replacement head
Answer:	Yes .... the warranty for failure due to a defect in material or workmanship or as a result of normal wear and tear from ordinary use. The warranty period is two years with an extra 90 days if you register on-line
Question:	Does the metal strip create a lot of friction on concrete & does it come off during use
Answer:	This is a flimsy little machine that is not worth the money. It is not strong enough. No Ivy roots would totally stop it up. This is only strong enough to cut through soft dirt.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it make your plow
Answer:	It says Made in the USA on the box 
Question:	Where is this item manufactured
Answer:	The whole ‘got them free/discounted for my review’ thing is annoying and suspect. I agree that one cannot base a purchase on a review that was placed under those circumstances.
Question:	poly blade -- Does this have an aluminum blade as the picture appears to show
Answer:	The process of harvesting beeswax and/or honey is inherently cruel. No living being appreciates being smoked out of their home or for the materials that they worked nonstop to make so they can house and feed their young (larvae), to be stolen/taken. But yes, the bunny logo is there
Question:	how tall is the handle
Answer:	Perhaps try cleaning glasses with solution of Dawn dish soap to stop fogging.

Product description

Remove snow faster without breaking your back with the Bigfoot Poly Pusher Snow Shovel!

The shovel’s blade has an extra wide radius that pushes more snow with every plow. The larger blade curve allows the shovel to roll snow without snow mounding up while you shovel – it’s like having a snow plow for a snow shovel! In addition to the large, 25"-wide blade, the Poly Pusher is designed for users to generate more leverage. Standard pusher snow shovels have their handles attached at the very top of their shovel blades. The Poly Pusher Snow Shovel's handle is attached to the center of the shovel blade. By attaching to the center of the blade, users are able to generate more leverage, which allows you to push more snow with reduced effort, as the snow is not able to mound up or fall over the back of the shovel blade.

This Poly Pusher also features a Large D-Grip handle! This wide grip gives you great control over the shovel as it glides along snow and ice covered surfaces.

The Bigfoot Poly Pusher Snow Shovel allows you to clear more snow with less effort! The shovel blade is made of a durable poly resin that is lightweight and durable under frigid temperatures. It can be used on all flat surfaces, such as decks or sidewalks. A wooden handle is used to give you plenty of leverage and is great because it won't ever rust or bend like metal handles.

This exceptional shovel is proudly made in the U.S.A. Keep your driveway clean and get ready for winter with the EMSCO Group Bigfoot Poly Pusher Snow Shovel!

• ENGINEERED FOR MAXIMUM LEVERAGE – In addition to the increased curve of the blade, the Bigfoot Poly Pusher shovel handle is attached at the midpoint of the shovel blade. This generates more leverage to the base of the shovel and clears snow with ease.
• REINFORCED POLY RESIN BLADE - The snow shovel's blade is special designed to be extra tough against flexing and prevents breaks, cracks and chips. It's freeze-impact tested to ensure it won't crack even in the coldest temps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have a metal edge or can it be used on stamped concrete
Answer:	No, handle has to be inserted into blade and secured, very easy and a very good shovel.
Question:	Is this shovel a plastic blade or metal
Answer:	Plastic Blade .Metal Handle.
Question:	Is this shovel angled to push the snow off to the side when you are pushing
Answer:	Very light. I agree with Derek, you gotta really push it into the blade when you receive the separate packages. I don't have much arm strength but used it as both a pusher and a shovel with no issues at all with 10 inches of snow for 20-30 minutes with a bad cold. I'd guess the entire shovel can't weigh more than 3 pounds. Well worth the money.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it good for snow
Answer:	It does not have a metal edge. On smooth concrete, it does a nice job on fresh snow: right down to the concrete. After a thaw/freeze cycle, this will sort of hang up on the ice, if any, that's under the snow. So push at an angle wish is more forward and not down, or you may be jolted to a stop, or at least it won't be an ideal experience. Having said that, depending on how your concrete stamping job was done, assuming it's fairly smooth and no ridges, you should pretty much experience what I describe with fresh snow. If there is ice in the contours of the concrete, it probably will be sticking up and more stubborn than just a bit of ice on smooth concrete. So the short answer is No Metal Edge; and should be fine on stamped concrete. I definitely would hit it early if at all possible to get to it before ice forms.
Question:	It says this is a 'pusher' is it also good for lifting snow
Answer:	This shovel has an all plastic blade.
Question:	What is the height from the ground to the top of the handle
Answer:	The blade of the shovel is curved so that it will roll the snow. Holding it at an angle allows the snow to roll off the blade on one side. It has worked well for me.
Question:	As a 75+ woman I'm having trouble figuring out how to put this together. Can anyone please help with simple instructions for the totally challenged
Answer:	THE HANDLE IS TO SHORT. YOU HAVE TO BEND TO MUCH.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long is pole? Not the handle, not the scooper...just the pole. Thanks
Answer:	This seems like a redundant question but yes, it is good for snow. I also like the fact that the handle has a bit of an angle to make it easier to use. I also like the fact that the metal edge is good and the fact that the handle fits in a slot and can come out to use for chipping ice...although I probably won't do that since I have more snow to deal with than ice.
Question:	I'v seen a few one one star reviews saying they broke easily !!!! The description says 10 year warranty
Answer:	You can use it for both pushing and lifting although it gets heavy for lifting because it holds a lot of snow. It's an excellent snow pusher - solid, heavy metal.
Question:	what is the diameter of the handle
Answer:	55" from ground to top of handle
Question:	I plan to use this to shovel snow. Would that use work well
Answer:	The ice edge slides right into the back. You'll see if you put in there the wrong way cuz it won't clip in and stay. Then to take it out to use the ice chipper, pull the front Clip out and pull the handle !
