The ergonomic snow shovels (like the wheeled snow shovels, or extra-wide snow shovels and associated gimmickry) only really work consistently well in light snow, which you can often remove with a push broom, or just drive through anyway. The most utilitarian snow shovels aren't really shovels - they're scoops. "Grain scoops" to be specific, in steel or plastic, and you frequently see them half-sticking out of deep snow around houses in snowy climates. These guys:



So I'm not sure if the Heft will be any good. However, I do like how it's detachable, because it dramatically increases the likelihood of it being useful. I'm also not thrilled about the plastic construction, but I am beginning to suspect that this construction is essential for mass marketing a tool. I can't imagine that inventors are originally using plastic for stuff like this; the prototype was probably made out of wood or steel.
