The three major classifications of snow shovel according to material and related introduction

1.All metal

The most obvious advantage of an all-metal shovel is "durability". This kind of shovel can effectively remove the ice on the ground, and if there are relatively small obstacles such as small stones and nail heads on the deck, it will not have much impact on the all-metal shovel. But the disadvantage is that it is heavier and may consume more physical energy.

2.All plastic

Another more common one is the plastic shovel head. The biggest feature of this snow shovel is that it is lighter in weight and easy to operate. It does not need to spend extra physical energy on the weight of the snow shovel. Plastic shovels are more flexible than metal ones, and snow is not easy to stick to plastic shovels. But plastic is easier to damage than metal, so it will not be metal in terms of durability.

3.Plastic shovel + metal edge

This shovel adds a metal strip to the edge of the plastic shovel, which combines the advantages of plastic and metal shovel: it can shovel ice like a metal shovel, but also keeps the advantages of plastic shovel light, and becomes more durable.

Handle type:

1.Ordinary straight handle

Straight shovel snow shovel is the most common kind, and the handle of the ordinary shovel is straight, the material is mostly wood, metal, plastic and so on.2.Double handle

2.The double handle is a modification of the ordinary straight handle, that is, a second handle is added to the straight handle, which will make it more convenient when shoveling snow with both hands.

3.Ergonomic handle

The ergonomic handle is usually not straight, there will be a relatively large "bend" in the middle of the handle. The advantage of this design is to reduce or avoid bending down when shoveling snow as much as possible to relieve the pressure on the human back. But the disadvantage is that if you want to shovel heavy snow, it will be more difficult to lift.
