Shovel Snow and Feel Like A Kid Again

By Douglas Cordell

During the long winter holidays as a child, do you remember how much fun it was? How exciting everything was; a ton of presents underneath the tree, the permeating good mood, and of course, fluffy white snow? It was when kids went outdoors and played out in the snow, did some ice hockey, had snowball fights, or even just constructed snowmen out on their front yards. It is something one would wish to experience again.

The truth of the matter is, winter can be terribly frustrating to adults. You worry about your kids as they play outside, fearing that they'll catch a cold. You have to make sure that the household is well-prepared for the cold season; making sure that the power cables hold, double-checking that the vehicles are in okay condition, and of course, shoveling the garage and the lawn so that these areas remain passable.

There have been recent ideas that can help with the backbreaking chore of shoveling snow off driveways and paths. We took the concept of the normal snow shovel, which is unwieldy and hard to use, and found a new way to make it easier to clear snow off. The weight of snow and the metal shovel combine can be dangerous to one's back, when one bends down and lifts over and over again. Backaches and sometimes, even heart attacks may occur from the strain and stress of this chore.

As a solution to this, we have conceptualized a new shovel blade made out of super-light materials. With the addition of an attached cord to where the blade and handle meet. The attached cord, is just about three feet long, and has an attached handle for easy gripping. With this simple design, you can now eliminate the need to bend down and lift shovels of snow with much less time and effort.

When using our best snow shovel design, you will soon find yourself performing this chore with hardly any problem at all. You'll finish the deed in half the time, and you can thus find more moments to enjoy winter as you did as a child.
