Hey Northerners
Any good recommendations for snow shovels? After the snow and ice last week, I want one to keep at the office just in case. I shoveled my entire sidewalks and parking lot with a 12" scoop shovel. Not doin that shit again. I've looked at them online, but I have no idea about materials, brands, ergonomics, etc.

this is the shovel I use, LOL
although this week of course it snowed and the "shoevel broke. therefore I was left actually shoveling. I use a big push type shovel. |

I got a 12" one that looks just like the one in the picture... telescoping handle... not sure if that one has it... I kept it in the trunk of my car or behind the seat in the truck in case I got stuck... wouldn't think about doing the driveway with it...

Look for one like this but made out of all aluminum. They last forever and work well for moving mulch too.

I have one like this and it moves snow. That's usually all I ask of it.
If we have more than a few inches, I use this. If we have a February like we did in 2010, I use this.
