Take it home if

  • Spring-assist handle shifts the load to your lower hand
  • Aluminum wear strip scrapes to pavement
  • Light at 3.7 lb

Walk past if

  • The spring strap fatigues and breaks after a season or two
  • No replacement strap sold, so the shovel is done when it goes
  • Blade is narrow for pushing
