Locating and purchasing was a breeze. It's like buying a new car. Once you get that specific car you see them all over. This snow removal tool doesn't replace a shovel for very tight areas. However this tool is an outstanding addition to my snow removal arsenal. This tool has really lessened impact to my wrists and straining my of biceps . The impact to my lower back from clearing snow is gone. The snow pusher uses little space in the summer. I will remove the snow pusher for storage while my hand truck is still accessible. I reinstall it in the fall and use it as a leaf pusher for fall clean up.
