User questions & answers

Question:	Is the handle steel or aluminum? Steel would make it heavy
Answer:	For Humans: "The potential for long-term oral toxicity is also low. In one study, in 1972, 12 rats were provided with feed containing as much as 5% PG over a period of 2 years, and showed no apparent ill effects; no data on offspring were offered.34 Because of its low chronic oral toxicity, propylene glycol was classified by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) for use as a direct food additive, including frozen foods such as ice cream and frozen desserts.3235 The GRAS designation is specific to its use in food, and does not apply to other uses.36" For Dogs: "Propylene glycol is an approved food additive for dog and sugar glider food under the category of animal feed and is generally recognized as safe for dogs,50 with an LD50 of 9 mL/kg. The LD50 is higher for most laboratory animals (20 mL/kg).51 However, it is prohibited for use in food for cats due to links to Heinz body anemia.52" https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/phs/phs.asp?id=1120&tid=240 & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol
Question:	Is the second handle adjustable
Answer:	I have used this product for years and love it! I have had zero issues with my driveway. I don’t have to wash my driveway due to residue in the springtime. It also hasn’t harmed the carpets inside. It has damaged the concrete walkway we have in the back yard. It is a great product!

User questions & answers

Question:	good for moving gravel
Answer:	to extend the handle you pop a little round button into its hole and extend the handle till the button pops into the extension hole. It's not a very long extension, you still stoop when shoveling, but it's a great little shovel. I have two, one is probably 10 years old, held together by duct tape by now, but still shoveling.
Question:	Where is this made, China
Answer:	All plastic. No metal.

User questions & answers

Question:	How does this work for avalanche/ emergency snow shoveling
Answer:	It is made of plastic, but pretty tough, I used it to move and level loose dirt after I used a tiller to loosen the dirt, it worked pretty good. You have to hold the handle at the level you want to carry the amount of what ever you're moving, it won't dig, just good for moving loose material
Question:	Does the cap come with the product
Answer:	The bolts are 11/4 x 1/4 and 3/4 x1/4 carriage bolts
Question:	Is the "ring knob" made of steel or plastic
Answer:	No. I'm 60, and partly disabled but found this easy to use in recent 5-6 inch snow. The blade gathers the snow with little effort from me, then I just leaned it over to one side to dump the snow.
Question:	Just to be clear, this item is made in the USA
Answer:	Never used the straight handle so I can't say anything about it. The d handle works great especially hear in the east. In would think you wouldn't get much leverage with the straight handle while pushing heavy we snow. My 2 cents

User questions & answers

Question:	how high of snow do you estimate this shovel can push
Answer:	I would contact the seller through the Amazon Returns & Orders menu. Just find the shovel and click the link related to that purchase. The shovel and handle that I received came as 2 separate pieces but in the same huge box. The seller may send you another handle if they have one in their warehouse. I live in a snow-free climate but this shovel is very sturdy and I use it for loading mulch, topsoil etc. The construction is great but the packaging could be improved.
Question:	How long is the handle? I am 6 ft. 2 in. and am tired of short handles that hurt my back because I have to bend over to use them
Answer:	The handle is made of wood with a plastic loop at the top.
Question:	Is this shovel/pusher safe for tiles
Answer:	Yes if I can
Question:	I know WIDTH of blade, but what is the Height of the BLADE
Answer:	I read about a hack for gravel driveways and will try it this season on my tractor blade. Make a cut down a length of PVC, the length of your blade, slide it over the blade. The PVC will keep the edge of the blade from picking up the gravel. I am thinking of buying on of these Snowcasters for smaller jobs and will use PVC over the edge.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does "heat treated heads" mean that the blade is steel as well as the handle
Answer:	4.5" x .5" (And in my experience, due to the curvature of the shaft the metal plate will lift if it's just an adhesive back. You'd need to screw it down. I have my labels (6" x 2") done in a silver metallic vinyl and they work great.)
Question:	Will this work in the evening
Answer:	Yes, Handle is 27" (from top of handle to the top of the shovel. Total length 41"
Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	Cannot say for sure, because I haven't weighed it, but it only feels like a few pounds. Also, it is a very strong little shovel !!
Question:	how long is the shovel, tip to tip
Answer:	Ryan, Thank you for reaching out. This is a little bitty shovel, if you have a smaller area around a front door, or that needs a smaller size shovel head to reach between posts this would be helpful. The handle is quite short though- at 26.8 inches long. Yes, if you have a small storage area, or wish to keep a back up in your trunk, this could be helpful in an emergency.
