I will shovel for hours and have no problem shoveling the entire street. Yeah, I'm that guy.
It's all about the shovel and how it works for you, I used to make 'Frankenstein' shovels. Swapping longer lightweight metal shafts and D handles to small plastic scoopers(?).
About 8 years ago I found a cheap grocery store model that I loved, but it was cheap and it broke. My wife found a store in Utah selling on eBay that had fifteen of them, she bought them all.
I have about 6 left, I keep them hidden in the attic. Like a miser's gold.
Going out to shovel now.
My Hero!
I go through 2-3 shovels a year, usually grabbing the cheapest/lightest units I can find. I recently noticed my present favorite is starting to crack. I've never considered buying them in bulk, good idea! Much cheaper than motorized snow removing machines and gas... and a good workout to boot.
