No, this is the ultimate snow shovel. An Ames True Temper
#1 aluminum shovel with a
decent handle on it.

That's a good shovel but it needs one more thing : another T
handle made
to a length to suit your arm reach and attached to the rivet
hole in the
shank of the shovel. A handle about a foot long should do
it. Major
back saver, it is............

I shovel a lot of snow, really dislike either "T" or "D"
handles. They just get in the way, long straight handle is
the way to go. For heavy duty shoveling I use a plastic
scoop (grain scoop size) with a layer of paste wax smeared
all over it. Light work gets done with a reinforced plastic
pusher.
Those are my two favorites. I have several others for
special snow/circumstances.
