Let’s start with a snow shovel designed for motorists. There is nothing worse than getting stuck on the road, so the shovel should always be in the trunk. This Hopkins 17211 model costs just over $ 17. The handle is retractable, the length can be adjusted. Thanks to this folding handle, it does not take up much space in the trunk. But the shovel itself is plastic. Therefore, the ice will not be able to chop. And, of course, she cannot clear a vast area – exclusively for motorists.

The sturdy larch handle and the aluminum working part are resistant to caked snow and ice. But for tall people, the handle is too short, and the shovel weighs a lot due to the metal used in the manufacture.

Snow Joe SJ-SHLV01. The main difference is the two handles. It is convenient to fold the snow, you can lift a lot of weight without any extra effort.
