Nice job. The negative feedback are the people who stay indoors and watch you do it. They are the one's who will end up having the heart attack. Well done.
They are called a "Dakota Snow Blade". I think Amazon carries them now. I live in Minnesota & bought mine 8-10 yrs ago, and it still works great. Yes, snowblower is easier, but my "Snow Blade" is much cheaper and the most maintenance ever done is replacing 1 bolt/nut. It doesn't replace a shovel, but it does 80-90% of the work-- WAY easier. It breezes through powder and is optimum if < 6" deep. In light snow, I clear my drive & walks in 5-10 min-- it's SO FAST! It won't cut through hard, refrozen snow or packed snow from a snow-plow. But when snow is wet and heavy, I work down the center of my drive. I push half the snow to one side and half to the other side. With all the snow piled up on the sides, I use a shovel to throw it into the yard. Even in wet heavy snow, it saves ENORMOUS amounts of work. It's not for all places, but most places in the U.S. are not at high elevation and don't get lake-effect snow. Works in Minnesota.
cthunter41 they’re primarily used to clear off company sidewalks by snow removal companies, even with 1” of snow it’s a liability and this is a quick way to clear them off without actually using a snow blower or shovel.
My Dad had one of these back in the mid sixties. He got it from Eaton's (a long gone major dept store chain up here in the GTW)! The blade was about a third smaller and the wheels were twice as tall. And, if the way the guy is flipping this tool around, Dad's wheeled shovel weighed twice as much. Also of course, the driveway was not paved, a shovel like this does not work on loose gravel lanes/driveways. Finally, snow in N. Ontario comes down a bit heavier than this as well so this snow tool did not always work very well at all.
When I was a teenager in Minnesota I made one something like this and yes, the detractors are right, it's fun but not of much use. When I came back from the Navy and had to live there, I wouldn't even bother to clean that little bit of snow. Since moved to Nevada - end of problem
Boy oh boy, what a bunch of haters. Do you REALLY think there is a man-operated pusher shovel that'll push 12" or heavy, wet snow? Give it a break. If you had one of these, you might have to go out a time or two during a heavier snowfall, but it still beats scooping and lifting and that's the point of this pusher. Not an answer to all conditions. And no, I don't have any skin in the selling of this product, I'm just a practical, reasonable midwestern homeowner.
I would like to see how it works on a foot or more of heavy wet snow. It looks like a good tool but I'm certain that it's use is limited more to snow of a powder consistency.
you have to go out and clear snow during the snowfall a couple of times in order to keep up with heavy accumulations. if not, you'll have to use a snowblower anyway.
4 inches so far so good. You would have to go out and shovel or in this case push it once over so it won't be too bad when it comes to more than a foot of snow
It really is just a modified pusher, something that I remember having as a kid shovelling snow, but for some reason all you see now days is plastic snow shovels, that require lifting. While this guy was great on a small amount of snow, the pusher helps even with a heavier snow, but it can't beat a snow blower. I have thought that when the snow is really wet and not deep at all and the snow blower (an older one that probably is due for replacement) one of these would be nice on the front of a riding mower, or even somehow attached to a snow blower to add traction. A pusher works like a snow plow on a truck, pushing the snow off the end, that is the beauty of them, no lifting.
I've got a Toro Snowblower and a JD Garden Tractor with a 47 inch snowblower for real snow. But I will go out with this multiple times and quickly clear the driveway during a snowfall.
I am sort of shocked how much negativity there is with some of these comments. Yes it’s not heavy snow...yes it’s not on gravel, but it obviously works for some applications. Seems like people are just upset they have to go shovel their driveways.
I live in Kingston Ontario Canada. I use to have a plow that did push the snow only to the right. I love the way yours will plow both ways. If I was younger I would get one. They are very hard to find here.
I just used a Toro snow shovel on my driveway. The snow was about two feet deep.And I did the snow bank! It was a work out, but better than shoveling. That thing surprised me.
I have had a few of these hand plows for a few years now (mine have Blue poly blades). 1 at home and the other at my shop. They are great for light snows! Use to carry one in my plow truck for doing walks and where it was difficult to get the plow into. They are great for light snows as it is fast!
I do commercial removal for Safeway, Albertson's, Wincos, etc. I have this same shovel and it does do pretty well on light snow or even a little bit of slushy snow that. Its good to have on hand because in some situations the Snowblower is over kill and slows you down having to unload it and go its speed and turn around versus running around like the guy in the video where you can bust out the fronts of stores and handicap spots real quick, but there is the trade off, its a 3foot blade and moving 3 feet of snow isn't free, it cost energy and when you got 8 stores to do you have to pace yourself. Bottom line is that it is good to have on hand.
I'm not gonna lie, I got nervous as hell seeing this gentleman trotting/halfway running up & down the driveway clearing the snow. But this video was very satisfying to me. Gave off a bit of ASMR effect.
The orientation handle flip is genious. I have a huge blower and it is a pain for light snow. Or sometimes it is still snowing and I just need a fast cleanup. This looks great.
smart guy.. he did it both ways so he didn't have to walk back to his starting point with an empty shovel so as to continue shovelling snow in the same direction as his previous trip :).
You wouldn’t have to keep flipping it over if you went down the center first, then come back up the right side (farther side from camera) then go back down the left side and little by little the snow would get plowed half to the left side, half to the right side. And like I said you wouldn’t have to keep flipping the plow over at the end of each pass due to it being made angled to one side. 🙂
Its only good for light fluffy snow! Also what do you do when there is a foot of snow or more? Then some ice? Or wet heavy snow? Its only good for one thing! 6 ins or less of light fluffy snow!
Some of those comments are ridiculous. I have two of the snow-blade me and my son we do it together I have a pretty large driveway they work great I’ve done 3 inches with it but no more I work the snowblower when I need to . I’m 60 years old I’m a champ !! Snow blade is only made for light snow like 1 / 3 inches !!!!
It's not like this is some amazing new invention. My family has had one my whole life and my father's family had one when he was a kid. We don't even use it that much though, because it only works good if it's a little bit of light snow. If there is much snow or it's heavy, it just stopped dead in his tracks and Rams the handle into your stomach.
I like this human powered application... A little exercise wouldn't hurt nobody. No noisy gas powered equipment involved here. (No Carbon Footprint) Job done in less than 4 minutes... Well Done - Cheers mate!
BMR. I'm willing to bet you never lived in Canada where 20" to 40" of snow could fall over night. To hell with your carbon footprint. I almost always shovel by hand. A regular scraper ( for light snow)and shovel. Is all you need for 6" or less. More than that or wet snow give me a snowblower.
Anyone that would use a snowblower for that much snow is a moron. That much snow in my driveway would be cleared just as fast with my regular snow shovel. I save the snowblower for the real snow falls we get in Central Ontario.
Such nice light fluffy snow. On the west coast of BC the snow is basically slush and doesn't shovel well at all. That plow would make it about four or five feet before you couldn't push the weight.
And like every ridiculous "smartshovel" that is invented the snow is light as cotton. You never get to see this shit in work where a grader has thrown wet snow that cars has driven through and then have freezed. Everything is easy to do in cold powdersnow, a sneeze or hard cough will do the job as well.
even if it was the wet stuff it would still work only because it's only 2" deep, and 2nd it's not that big of a driveway, a snow sleigh would have done the same thing just as fast.
they might work great where you only get 2 inches of snow but here in maine you will want a true shovel or a snow blower or even a plow truck, I don't see them working to well when you get 6+ inches in a single storm
You can tell by the comments, who comes from areas which get little snow (positive comments) to the areas which get heavy snow (not impressed). For the amount of snow which is on the ground the shovel would have taken just a bit longer, also with the shovel you can lift, because not all driveways have flat yard next to them some have walls or are higher and you need to lift.
Warning: do not attempt if you are over the age of thirty, are not physically fit and do not do cardio exercises regularly. Caveat: even if you qualify, you may still be in danger if you attempt this shortly after leaving a warm house. Additional warning: not really advisable under any situation even if you are physically fit.
Come on over to Northern Illinois Goober! We just had 10 inches of the stuff I'd like to see you move. ESPECIALLY where the city plow truck put it onto my front sidewalk!!!
I saw one of these at my local ace hardware store. I did not like how cheaply put together the lower LAWNMOWER HANDLE mounts were made. And at $120, I did not buy it. And as the video CLEARLY SHOWS, it's only good for fresh powder snow, not wet snow. I can actually go FASTER with 2 PUSHER type snow shovels side by side and slightly overlapped. You are STILL PUSHING just like the guy in the video. Yet I would have gotten done faster with 2 pusher style snow shovels. BOTH SHOVELS together have a 36" to 45" clearing width on light snow. Yet this thing is only about 26" to 28".
In Maine that would work may be for the first or second light snowfall but after that you need snow plow power. Christmas we had over 12 in of snow plus tall drifts and tomorrow January 4th we have blizzard warnings out for over or up two 18in plus high winds 45 miles an hour with huge drifts. Even powerful snow blowers are not big enough for three and four foot plus drifts
I have one of these. I regret buying it. It only works with a narrow range of snow situations; 1-3 inches, light and fluffy. Your driveway also needs to be in perfect condition. Instead of pulling this out and then finding that it doesn't work well half the time and then switching to a shovel, now I just go for the shovel in the first place for light snow and the blower for heavier snow. If the snow is easy to push, it doesn't take long to push it with a shovel either. It's also much easier to slightly lift a shovel over cracks and little gaps in the walkway where this thing keeps getting stuck.
While living in Ohio and reports were up to 2 feet of snow, I would shovel every time it hit 6 inches. Wish I had this shovel with wheels. Didn't wait until the storm was over.
Wouldn't work in New England with the heavy wet snow. It would be nice for those small storms when I don't want to take out the snowblower. I use a push shovel for those 1-2 inch storms that has the same concept.
So does a snowblower. A plow on a truck. Notice: this is NOT HEAVY WET SNOW but a few inches of powder snow. Above 5 inches, bring out the shovel. I live in MN.
i don't think this thing would work on the heavy wet snow we got in michigan today. i have a snowblower; but the when the snow is as wet and heavy as it was today, better off just using the snow shovel. i just shoveled enough to get out of the driveway and THAT was quite a chore.
John Baha An average snowfall can be over 8 inches, which this cute little shovel thing would be no more useful than any other shovel. Most of us use 10 gallon scoop shovels and/or snowblowers. Come on up and pitch in after our next big dump, we'll see who feels like a king after that
This dude just cleared a larger than average drive in 3 min. I’m more than happy to get off the couch and shovel for 3 min every time 2 inches falls. Do the math twelve inches of snow would require 6 three minute shovelling jobs for a grand total of 18 min. Could you clear 12 inches of snow off a large driveway in under 18 min. If you sat on your ass until the snow Stopped? I was so impressed I bought one. Took me 4 min. to clear 160 feet of driveway 12 feet wide. 3” of snow accumulation. Anyone wanna buy a snowblower?
Wow , really good for 3-4 inches of soft dry powder !! Same could be done with a leaf blower. Lets see it with 6-12 inches of wet icy packed crusty snow , which is way more realistic.
Good for some driveways and light snowfalls. City stuff. Where I live you need a heavy duty snowblower minimum or a plow on a pickup truck or tractor. Or you pay someone to do it. This little thing would be useless here. But it's clever.
Nice job.
The negative feedback are the people who stay indoors and watch you do it.
They are the one's who will end up having the heart attack.

Thanks for the great demonstration and testimonial! We appreciate you!
Looks great dad!! Dont listen to the haterz 👌🏻😎😎
agreed
E L i
Whaddya mean dad? Get your ass off the computer and push some snow.
Maybe back when I was a yute, but I'm 70 with 2 artificial hips and arthritic knees. Where was that thing when I was 15?
I've used one of these. On smooth pavement up to about 2 inches of snow it works great. It's not intended for deep snow or frozen banks.
B Laquisha. Aka useless.
2 inches? Why bother.
cthunter41 they’re primarily used to clear off company sidewalks by snow removal companies, even with 1” of snow it’s a liability and this is a quick way to clear them off without actually using a snow blower or shovel.
For a light dry snow that will works just fine but so will a leaf blower!
A ton of negative comments .. looks like it works great for a couple of inches of snow.. but hey keep paying that man in the truck 75 dollars .
My Dad had one of these back in the mid sixties. He got it from Eaton's (a long gone major dept store chain up here in the GTW)!
The blade was about a third smaller and the wheels were twice as tall. And, if the way the guy is flipping this tool around, Dad's wheeled shovel weighed twice as much. Also of course, the driveway was not paved, a shovel like this does not work on loose gravel lanes/driveways.

Pacific Northwest or Colorado at 6k feet. Would work on the small ones, otherwise be out there every 2-3 hours
4 inches so far so good. You would have to go out and shovel or in this case push it once over so it won't be too bad when it comes to more than a foot of snow
Good luck doing this in Connecticut with a foot of snow plus a wind chill of -11
Pacific Northwest
This would work along the west coast 90% of the time.
What is it called? Where can I get one? Why do you flip it instead of just circle over to the next line?

I love that guys with snow and leaf blowers blow the snow and leafs back and forth at each other.
I’ve had one for at least 20 years. Works great.
I've got a Toro Snowblower and a JD Garden Tractor with a 47 inch snowblower for real snow. But I will go out with this multiple times and quickly clear the driveway during a snowfall.
raykrv6a , in very lite snow.
Well, this is the perfect snowfall for it. Quick work of the driveway and walks.

I like what your using what is it and where would you buy that from?
Does that also get trough ice?
I have had a few of these hand plows for a few years now (mine have Blue poly blades). 1 at home and the other at my shop. They are great for light snows! Use to carry one in my plow truck for doing walks and where it was difficult to get the plow into. They are great for light snows as it is fast!
That's just great, show us how great it is without telling us what brand and model it is. Brilliant.
its a Dakota blade sharoncol.balkowitsch.com/snoblade.htmmade in north Dakota
why are people so freaking mean. You could have just asked.
looks like it could also be a Snowcaster model...nice shovel for the right type of snow & surface, love mine!
This guy must live in New Jersey... I can tell from the large amount of assery he has
I might get a pair and mount on the front of my subaru wagon
How much is this??
Where can i buy this??
Plz tell us where to buy.

I bought one for my grandmother. Shaved 8 1/2 minutes off our 180’ driveway.
Where did you purchase this? Is it only available in USA? or also in Canada?
smart guy.. he did it both ways so he didn't have to walk back to his starting point with an empty shovel so as to continue shovelling snow in the same direction as his previous trip :).

Good point there.
It does look like it works pretty good and helps the back from getting hurt but I agree with some of the others. I wonder what it does with wet snow.
LOL that little snowfall is cute. Lets see it work at 12" inches.
+timfischer Not designed for deep snow Tim, maybe 7 to 9 inches or so depending on the consistency of the snow. Wet, maybe less.
yea
timfischer for p
Tijuana SIX I'm telling my mom you pease of fuck
*piece
I made something similar when I was a kid and played snow plow. Shovel and hand truck.
Do you have a link to make that genius invention??please
Is it the double handle or the wheels that make this amazing? I don't get the wheels.
Wow , you just watched a video of a guy shoveling his driveway. Thanks UA-cam!
Where can I buy one. Brilliant for us in UK as we don’t get that much at the moment and it,s easy to store.
Why is he running? Does he want to slip and fall?
But how well does it work and how long does it take when you get over an inch an hour??
That’s awesome for optimal conditions, but here where it’s mostly wet slop I can imagine it more as a pole vault than a pusher😏
Its only good for light fluffy snow! Also what do you do when there is a foot of snow or more? Then some ice? Or wet heavy snow? Its only good for one thing! 6 ins or less of light fluffy snow!
How does it work on 1 foot or more of snow
That's a shoval mate
Brandon Walmsley its a snow plow, i did not see him hoist any snow as one would while shoveling. Just sayin’
Some of those comments are ridiculous. I have two of the snow-blade me and my son we do it together I have a pretty large driveway they work great I’ve done 3 inches with it but no more I work the snowblower when I need to .
I’m 60 years old I’m a champ !!
Snow blade is only made for light snow like 1 / 3 inches !!!!
It's not like this is some amazing new invention. My family has had one my whole life and my father's family had one when he was a kid. We don't even use it that much though, because it only works good if it's a little bit of light snow.

John Baha I'm sorry to have taxed your mind so much. I'm sure if you ask your mom she'll help you sound out the words.
I like this human powered application... A little exercise wouldn't hurt nobody. No noisy gas powered equipment involved here. (No Carbon Footprint) Job done in less than 4 minutes... Well Done - Cheers mate!
BMR no carbon footprint? Ffs you even have to liberal up a shovel video don't ya? Gay
BMR. I'm willing to bet you never lived in Canada where 20" to 40" of snow could fall over night. To hell with your carbon footprint.
I almost always shovel by hand. A regular scraper ( for light snow)and shovel. Is all you need for 6" or less. More than that or wet snow give me a snowblower.
Anyone that would use a snowblower for that much snow is a moron.
That much snow in my driveway would be cleared just as fast with my regular snow shovel. I save the snowblower for the real snow falls we get in Central Ontario.
a little exercise wouldnt hurt anyone? lol tell that to the 72year old who died pushing a snow blower or the one who died shovling
Typical Canadian pos
Such nice light fluffy snow. On the west coast of BC the snow is basically slush and doesn't shovel well at all. That plow would make it about four or five feet before you couldn't push the weight.
Was that like 2 inches of light snow? Try that in buffalo n.y. or pa where they've been getin pounded with harsh lake effect snow.
And like every ridiculous "smartshovel" that is invented the snow is light as cotton. You never get to see this shit in work where a grader has thrown wet snow that cars has driven through and then have freezed. Everything is easy to do in cold powdersnow, a sneeze or hard cough will do the job as well.
even expensive snowblowers struggle with that $hlt. you're not gonna get away from that.
I agree. With light fluffy stuff like that I wouldn't even bother with a shovel. I'd simply pull out the push broom.
even if it was the wet stuff it would still work only because it's only 2" deep, and 2nd it's not that big of a driveway, a snow sleigh would have done the same thing just as fast.
i've seen guys use these. i will have to admit, nothing works better or faster than these for the majority of snowfalls we get.
they might work great where you only get 2 inches of snow but here in maine you will want a true shovel or a snow blower or even a plow truck, I don't see them working to well when you get 6+ inches in a single storm
Where did you buy it?
That's not snow..."just a light dusting"
And does it come with a defibrillator?
You can tell by the comments, who comes from areas which get little snow (positive comments) to the areas which get heavy snow (not impressed). For the amount of snow which is on the ground the shovel would have taken just a bit longer, also with the shovel you can lift, because not all driveways have flat yard next to them some have walls or are higher and you need to lift.

Ed Tin that man is 50 i think people over 30 are very capable
That is amazing, I have always used shovels without wheels, it sure seems to help.
Come on over to Northern Illinois Goober! We just had 10 inches of the stuff I'd like to see you move. ESPECIALLY where the city plow truck put it onto my front sidewalk!!!
We have one at work, I work at Embassy Suites. Amazing little thing it is.

where is the snow? that hardly counts as snow. you could clear that with a damn push broom
Lol!
Dana Green the snow is that white stuff on the ground
"That name again is mr plow"
how come no one in snow areas has either a full time roof over there driveways or one you can put in the season
Our town if the plow guys saw putting snow on the street they would add a "little extra" to your driveway. looks ok for small snows.
In a perfect world with 2-3" of snow and a perfectly smooth level driveway, it might be the answer, but who of us has that?
It's nice and quiet and gets the job done! Snowblowers can annoy some people. Sound carries in the Winter.
where can I buy one
Must not be New England.
Michael Dodd Definitely not lol
If you read and comprehened the title said "Pennsylvania" plus I'm glad he has a flat drive
Pennsylvania isn't New England. New England is Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Agreed. Looks more like heavy frost.
so you new England people think your snow is different than everyone elses get real.
In Maine that would work may be for the first or second light snowfall but after that you need snow plow power. Christmas we had over 12 in of snow plus tall drifts and tomorrow January 4th we have blizzard warnings out for over or up two 18in plus high winds 45 miles an hour with huge drifts. Even powerful snow blowers are not big enough for three and four foot plus drifts
I have one of these. I regret buying it. It only works with a narrow range of snow situations; 1-3 inches, light and fluffy. Your driveway also needs to be in perfect condition. Instead of pulling this out and then finding that it doesn't work well half the time and then switching to a shovel, now I just go for the shovel in the first place for light snow and the blower for heavier snow. If the snow is easy to push, it doesn't take long to push it with a shovel either. It's also much easier to slightly lift a shovel over cracks and little gaps in the walkway where this thing keeps getting stuck.
I plow .i shovel . I like this too.for the small amounts that add up.i want one, where do I get one
Ummm, what do you think a shovel is??
Suddenly Vegas isn’t so bad after all.
While living in Ohio and reports were up to 2 feet of snow, I would shovel every time it hit 6 inches. Wish I had this shovel with wheels. Didn't wait until the storm was over.
I don't know if this is the exact one, but it's the closest I could find, and I looked a lot. A336P LEONARD 36 IN WHEELED SNOMOVER
Wouldn't work in New England with the heavy wet snow. It would be nice for those small storms when I don't want to take out the snowblower. I use a push shovel for those 1-2 inch storms that has the same concept.
This seems to work for certain conditions, and you still need a regular shovel to lift the snow over the banks
That’s sick I’m looking at buying that in Canada I’m sure Canadian Tire has it.
We have this at my job. I checked Amazon and they aren't that expensive. $85-$115. I live in Minnesota so I know I will use it for a good long while.
So does a snowblower. A plow on a truck.
Notice: this is NOT HEAVY WET SNOW but a few inches of powder snow. Above 5 inches, bring out the shovel. I live in MN.
i don't think this thing would work on the heavy wet snow we got in michigan today. i have a snowblower; but the when the snow is as wet and heavy as it was today, better off just using the snow shovel. i just shoveled enough to get out of the driveway and THAT was quite a chore.
Canadian here. Bwahahaha our winters just scoff at this lol
John Baha An average snowfall can be over 8 inches, which this cute little shovel thing would be no more useful than any other shovel. Most of us use 10 gallon scoop shovels and/or snowblowers. Come on up and pitch in after our next big dump, we'll see who feels like a king after that
These are situational tools. Great job. Not for blizzard people.
I won't even think about shoveling at that amount of snow lol. Talk to me when you get 2 ft.
Just as amazing as the push broom I use to push the snow, instead of lifting it...
I have the same one it works great for one to two inches of snow
Works great in an inch of fluffy white stuff
I’ve got one. Works well for 1-1/2” of snow and under.
This could work in areas that have so little snow they can name their snowstorms.
I have a plow type thing that works good for those kinds of small snowfalls when you don't want to bother with the blower.
what if it snows more than an inch?
What no move car?
This dude just cleared a larger than average drive in 3 min. I’m more than happy to get off the couch and shovel for 3 min every time 2 inches falls. Do the math twelve inches of snow would require 6 three minute shovelling jobs for a grand total of 18 min.
Could you clear 12 inches of snow off a large driveway in under 18 min. If you sat on your ass until the snow Stopped?
I was so impressed I bought one. Took me 4 min. to clear 160 feet of driveway 12 feet wide. 3” of snow accumulation.
Anyone wanna buy a snowblower?
i dont think you typed in the correct link .... how does it do in packy snow ?
not too good. you need to go out every few hours to keep up with the snowfall for best results.
How do YOU think?
If you're an Olympic athlete and the snow is light, this makes sense.
What's the rush?? Why run
Why even shovel it with a couple inches?
where can i purchase this?
Go to StupidInventions.com.
Any wide push shovel will do that.
Wow , really good for 3-4 inches of soft dry powder !! Same could be done with a leaf blower. Lets see it with 6-12 inches of wet icy packed crusty snow , which is way more realistic.
Good for some driveways and light snowfalls. City stuff. Where I live you need a heavy duty snowblower minimum or a plow on a pickup truck or tractor. Or you pay someone to do it. This little thing would be useless here. But it's clever.
On light, dry snow like that, you can use a backpack leaf blower like I do and have some fun with no effort at all with better results!
That poor yellow shovel is like little orphan Annie now 😥
It's good for commercial use when there's 3 or 4 inches & u don't want to use a blower
Kinda looks like my neighborhood. as soon as it snows , gotta hurry out and be the first one to clean your driveway off
