Tackle the snow all winter long with durable shovels, roof rakes, and other snow shovelling tools.
What kind of shovel is best for snow?
...
Standard snow shovels are appropriate for everyday snow shovelling for your driveway, walkway, and backyard, but there are many types of speciality shovels for other needs. Snow pushers are ideal for larger snow removal tasks and function similarly to a snowplow, scooping large amounts of snow at once in a wheelbarrow-like fashion. With a larger, rounder blade, you can clear paths with one pass. These durable options can move heavy amounts of snow while protecting your back. You can also purchase snow shovels with ergonomic designs or ones that feature specialized handles and shovel heads to make snow plowing an easier job.

What is a roof rake for snow?
Roof rakes are an easy way to clear roof snow from your roof without having to climb up. They typically feature an extendable handle and blade that won’t damage the integrity of your roof.
Do roof rakes damage shingles?
There are two different types of roof rakes – ones that use a scooping mechanism and ones that clear snow with a pushing motion. Scooping-style rakes that provide a buffer of some sort between the roof and the rake are ideal for protecting roof shingles. You should also never scrape the roof and try to remove ice or hardened snow with a rake.
