Garant Large Canadian Snow Shovel/Pusher (45cm/18\”) was £25.00 now £19.95
When the snow starts to come down, when the roads start to block up and the thermometer plummets, there are times when you just need to get out there and shift the snow. You have to make your walkways safe and sound and be able to get out as well as make it possible for the delivery person, postman or anyone else to gain access to your house or business. But do you keep a snow shovel in your garage or porch or a snow pusher? Well how about both? This nifty, neat and sturdy Garant Nordic Large Shovel/Pusher is a great, affordable quality solution to your snow-clearing problems. Garant is a long established, well-respected company from Canada, so they are certainly no strangers to snow. In fact they have been making tools for 115 years and their continuous investment in both new technologies and a highly skilled and experienced workforce are now one of the leading manufacturers of snow removal equipment in Canada. The Garant Nordic Large Snow Shovel/Pusher is ergonomic and lightweight and melds all that Canadian snow clearing experience, innovation and knowhow into a simple, dual-purpose tool which is well made, practical and as comfortable pushing snow as it is shovelling. The commercial grade shovel/pusher is extra long to make it user-friendly and reduce the amount of bending required to push or lift snow. The corrosion proof and weather resistant, robust poly pusher/shovel head delivers a working width of 45 centimetres (18\”) so a good-sized load can be handled each time. The shaft is natural ash, frequently used in high-grade tool manufacture for its natural flexibility, shock-absorption and resistance to splitting and decay. The handle is the traditional and comfortable D-shape, easy to grip and use for both pushing and shovelling movements. The Shovel/Pusher head is secured by a unique locking mechanism, so no tools are required and the high quality materials used in construction ensure this practical and versatile tool is built to do the job time and time again.
