After last year's bad weather I've decided I'm going to be prepared. Purchased this shovel to use for when I'm parked at work etc.
As soon as I got the Shovel I assembled it to see what it was like. When trying to dissemble the shovel I found the shovel head was stiff and took a lot of jiggling and pulling to come free. I gave up on the handle and middle section because I didn't want to break it before I used it, isn't really a problem as the product isn't so big.
The actual plastic shovel head looks sturdy enough to move fresh snow but, despite being slightly flexible, I don't know if I would risk trying to shovel compact snow as it's made of thin plastic.
I would still recommend this to a friend because it's a convenience if you return to your car after a day's work and your snowed in. I wouldn't recommend it for clearing driveways.
