what a great product - I have waited years to purchase a decent snow scoop and this is it! Purchased during the December 09 snow it arrived before Christmas and has been put straight to work. I was not sure why it was called "superior" (maybe because of the metal edge?) but it got the "best" prize when a group of teachers, school staff and parents swept the key student areas of the Royal Grammar School in High Wycombe in January 2010. GREAT features include light weight, excellent balance, good size as it can handle a good quantity of snow and the turned up edges keep the snow on the scoop and enables the snow to be thrown a good distance. I wish I had purchased one earlier...
