True Temper Arctic Blast Snow Pusher

This tool is designed specifically for light to medium snow accumulations. Because it is a pusher, it excels at clearing driveways and walkways quickly, but it is not intended for heavy, wet, or packed snow that requires lifting and throwing.

The steel wear strip acts as a protective edge that prevents the poly blade from wearing down prematurely when it scrapes against concrete or asphalt. It also helps you get a cleaner scrape on the pavement, ensuring you remove more snow in a single pass.

While the steel core adds significant durability and prevents the handle from snapping under pressure, it makes the shovel slightly heavier than an all-poly or aluminum model. However, the added weight provides a sturdier feel that helps the blade stay in contact with the ground while pushing.

Yes, the poly D-grip is designed to provide better leverage and control, which reduces wrist strain. It is particularly helpful when you need to push larger volumes of snow, as it allows for a more secure, ergonomic grip compared to a straight handle.

This is a pusher, not a shovel. While you can use it to move snow, it is optimized for pushing it to the side of a driveway or walkway rather than lifting and tossing it. If you have deep drifts or heavy, wet snow, you will likely need a dedicated snow shovel with a smaller blade for lifting.
