I recall seeing professional snow shovels, that were I think made of
some nice aluminum, with almost straight blades, that worked
great. Made for large apartment building owners.

I do not mean the crap that they sell in stores these days, either
trashy plastic or very thin aluminum. These do not stand up to a man
shoveling large amount of snow.

I would really like to buy a sheet of suitable metal and make a most
perfect snow shovel, that would be usable forever. Any suggestions as
to what gade, thickness etc of what metal to buy?

I do not mind regular carbon steel, as well.

What I do not want is a shovel that would be either too heavy, or
would bend when it hits some object, and does not crack from long term
use.

I am happy with a shovel/pusher that I saw a snow removal company using. It
is a Melnor brand plastic one I have not broken yet.

Most of our snow removal is done with an H Farmall or my Arctic Cat 300 4X4
with the plow I built for it.

Looks similar to a couple Garant shovels we have that have stood up very
well. They're widely available here in ME.
