Winter is right around the corner, and with that comes snowfall. Clearing snow from our walkways or in front of our garages isn’t fun, but it is necessary. You won’t want to wait until the last minute to pick up a shovel. Check out our current top-selling snow shovel brands:
The Snowplow
The Snowplow has many top-selling snow shovels with blades ranging from 12-48 inches. The Snowplow shovels push the snow out of the way rather than scooping it and moving it. Each model can also chop through thick, compact snow and ice.
If you’re looking to quickly clear large areas, like driveways, the 48-inch model is a great option. If you live in an apartment and are only responsible for removing your patio or in front of your garage, a smaller version like the 18 or 24-inch may be more suitable.
The nearly indestructible snow pusher is lightweight, nonabrasive, and rust-resistant. Typical users can get 2-3 seasons of extreme use before replacing the blade. The heavy-duty snow shovels are assembled with bolt-together construction, making it simple to replace a part if needed.

Marshalltown
The Marshalltown Polar Pusher is available in four widths: 48, 36, 30, and 24-inch. Like the shovels mentioned above, the Polar Pushers are designed to push snow rather than scoop it. The design of these snow pushers is ideal for moving snow and slush from sidewalks and driveways.
The shovels feature durable, long-lasting, non-stick material that is water-, wear–, and impact-resistant, allowing you to quickly chop through harsh snow and ice. All four models have a fiberglass handle with an ergonomic D-grip for maximum pushing power. They’re safe to use on concrete, decks, and roofs. The Polar Pushers can also make dirt, sand, debris, hay, and more.

Yo-Ho
Yo-Ho’s BustR Snow Shovel comes in 18 and 24-inch options. Both have a heavy-duty blade equipped with an extra-large metal wear plate. The wear plate can be easily removed and replaced, providing great value as you wouldn’t have to replace the entire shovel. The steel handle features a cushion grip and ergonomic D-grip.
The BustR snow shovels are great combinations of shovels. Combination shovels can be used to push the snow, much like the previously discussed snow pusher/shovels, but they’re also great for scooping the snow to move it. The shovel blade is curved and not so deep that it would create loads too heavy to lift.

True Temper
True Temper has quite a few best-selling snow shovel and snow pusher styles, like the 18-inch Artic Blast Aluminum Snow Shovel, the 30-inch Industrial Grade Snow Pusher, and the 20-inch SnoForce Combination Shovel.
The 18-inch Artic Blast Aluminum Snow Shovel is a classic snow shovel with an aluminum blade and sturdy handle made from North American ash. It’s great for chipping away at packed snow and ice. The blade is rust-proof and lighter than a steel blade. At only 3.5lbs, this lightweight, heavy-duty shovel is a must-have.
The True Temper 30-inch Industrial Grade Snow Pusher removes snow and slush from more expansive areas. The blade is made from a long-lasting nylon material that is wear-resistant and can withstand heavy snowfall demands. The snow pusher is designed with the Versa Grip, an ergonomically designed grip that accommodates multiple hand positions to make clearing your driveway, sidewalk, deck, and patio even easier.
True Temper’s 20-inch SnoForce combination shovel is built to last through even the most extreme conditions. The 20-inch, high-capacity blade allows for more snow removal in less time. The blade and handle are designed to provide a comfortable grip and maximize control with multiple grips for hand placement. The combination shovel is also reversible; the blade can be used to lift and move snow, but when turned over, it’s ideal for scraping tight areas such as steps and porches.

Polartech
The Polartech Professional Snow Pusher comes in 24 to 48 inches. While the Polartech Snow Pusher can be used for driveways and sidewalks, it was initially designed for commercial sidewalk clearing crews. The durable blade and shaft were created to withstand freezing temperatures. The non-stick blade is 7x more rigid than aluminum and nearly unbreakable.
Once you’re done shoveling, don’t forget to sprinkle an ice melt over the area to eliminate any remaining slippery spots. Check out these ice-melt spreaders to make the job even easier!

Final Thoughts
Purchasing a shovel doesn’t seem like a tough decision, but there is a lot to consider when making your choice. Determine the size of the area you need to clear and what kind of snow your region typically gets. A shovel designed to scoop and move snow may be your best option if you regularly get heavy, sticky snow. If you’re more likely to get soft, fluffy snow, a snow pusher will work best to clear the snow quickly. A combination shovel will be your best bet for those stormy winter days if you live somewhere with both.
