Description
Save yourself time, your back from strain, and your wallet with our Snow Shovel/Pusher. Use it for scooping and transferring snow, ice, and even wet leaves from your deck, driveway, and walkways. It works like this: the long handle gives you leverage, the comfortable D-grip transfers your force with a push, and the extra-thick edge aids the scooping process as it glides safely across composite, wood, concrete, gravel, and more. The special design to our ultra-thick edge eliminates the need for a metal wear strip, which makes our shovel safe for composite decks and other surfaces, and it increases its longevity compared to the competition. Built solid, but not heavy, the scoop is thick and won’t bend or crack, the head-to-handle connection is reinforced to prevent wobble or separation, and the longer handle gives you the reach you need to push then lift—all of which means that unlike box store scoops, this one may just last your lifetime. The scoop is constructed from a top-grade and lightweight polypropylene that makes it strong enough even for heavy snow. The handle is made with high-quality fiberglass and coated in a polyester veil to prevent splintering and increase strength. The D-shaped poly grip with no-slip texture is designed to increase leverage and reduce hand fatigue, while wide enough to accommodate work gloves. The Bully Tools 22″ Combination Snow Shovel/Pusher with Fiberglass Handle and Poly D-Grip comes with a limited lifetime warranty that protects against defects in material and workmanship.
NOTE: We would like to thank the writers over at Wirecutter: A New York Times Company, for featuring our shovel in their article “The Best Snow Shovel”!

This hand held snow plow(built like a truck) is solid but not too heavy. It is built with a thick poly scoop without that cheap thin piece of metal in the end like the way cheap shovels have. Wide grip handle is awesome and solid to use.Since there is no snow here yet I used it to plow up the tons of wet leaves. The long handle really helps so you are not bent over all of the time.Thick poly scoop, solid fiberglass handle that is bolted on(not a cheap rivet)makes for a solid tool not a cheap solution. Very happy with this purchase as I know it will be there when I need it.Nice to buy a 100% American made Tool.Great job Bully Tools.

Bought two so my teenage sons can BOTH clear the sidewalks. We keep these inside so they won’t be taken off our porch . . . these really make a difference when shoveling snow and we don’t want to go back to the old, flimsy ones.

I’ve owned this shovel for close to two and a half years now, and it has performed well–very well. I have a multitude of snow shovels, but if I had to pick just one over them all to get the job done, I would pick this one. It pushes and scoops snow very effectively and should make short work of most forms of snow you have, that is, if you are tall enough and strong enough to handle it. Being that the blade/scoop end is rather large and that the handle is on the longer side (as other reviewers have said, it is a wonderful shovel for taller people), if it is full of snow, it may be hard for shorter and/or weaker individuals to manage. For me, the size and length is just right and allows me to scoop and throw snow like no other.
The only thing this shovel would not be good for is exceptionally hard packed snow. . .or ice, which others have stated. I’ve shoveled fairly hard packed snow with this and without much trouble, but VERY hard packed snow. . .no, forget it. No plastic shovel will work for that. For exceedingly hard snow pack or ice, only a metal shovel will suffice. . .or an ice chopper/scraper.
There have been some who complained that since the edge does not have a metal wear strip, it wears down quickly. I don’t know what those individuals are doing, how they are treating their shovels, but, honestly, I’ve had no such issue. . .and I’ve used this on cement, patio blocks, gravel, sand, grass and our decks, which are wood. During the 2.5 years I’ve owned this shovel, I’ve moved tons of snow. . .and that is no exaggeration. Our winters are long where I live, 5 to 6 months, so every year I get lots of that cloud dander to clean up.
For what areas I shovel: I have two decks, two large cement slabs in front of our two garages, a front porch, a sidewalk, a path to and around our storage shed, a path to and around our electric generator and propane tank, a cabin across the road which also has an electric generator and propane gas tank, and a multitude of other places from time to time if warranted, like getting our plow truck unstuck after it slid off the road (oh, cripe. . .what a job that was). In those two years, it would be safe to say I’ve cleared snow from an area equivalent of 5 acres with 2 feet deep of snow. . .or more. After all this work, the shovel is still in good shape and still cleans snow well (you can see from the photos I’ve attached that the shovel blade is still in good shape).
One little issue that I had right from the beginning is that the handle wasn’t attached (riveted) to the fiberglass pole as tightly as it should have been, and so the handle has always wiggled a little. It has never caused me any issues, so far, and I hope it won’t. In time, though, it just might cause the rivet to come undone.
In all, this shovel has performed very well for me, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone who is tall enough and strong enough to handle it. Because of the slightly loose handle, I knocked off 1/2 a star, but still round it up to 5. A very good and effective shovel–4.5 stars.

This shovel is the best! It was a gifted to us! I finally got to use it with this heavy snow fall. It pushed the snow with ease. The shovel was easy to lift. We have a double lot & a driveway. It’s a lot of shoveling! I have broken many shovels with heavy snow. This shovel is very sturdy, heavy duty. I am not sore there was no strain on me what so ever.Snow shoveling has been made easier for me and now that I am older I need easier. AMAZING SHOVEL!!!I will be telling everyone about Bully Tools !!

This shovel seems like it is sturdy and will do a good job removing snow. However, I do have an issue with the fiberglass handle. The product description says it is coated in some material to prevent splintering. So, when I assembled the shovel, I did not wear any gloves and held the handle to screw in the bolts with a screwdriver and wrench. That was a huge mistake. I got pretty bad fiberglass splinters on both of my hands. I submitted a form to customer service, asking if the product is defective since the description says it is coated with some material so this doesn’t happen. I have yet to hear back.

The weak point it seams with many of these snow shovels is the attachment point of the handle. 2 self tapping screws. 1 year old and already there’s significant play in the handle. Matter of time I fear

Very well designed snow shovel. A 100% USA-made win for the home team. Wide enough to get a meaningful push for the lighter stuff and also deep enough to serve as a useful scoop. Starting my 3rd Montana Winter with this shovel and no noticeable wear and tear yet. I have tried a multitude of snow shovels and this 22″ stands above most in performance and usefulness. Money well spent!

Used it for years but mine broke on some moderately packed snow(under my wife’s car) and the company never responded to e-mails/messages/calls about the warranty. Decent shovel, still was able to kind of use it for another season but then it really just fell apart.

I want to update a previous review from January 12, 2023. I reached out to their customer service and the experience with Jimmy was perfect! The warranty was honored and because of that, I’ve already purchased 3 additional tools!

I have bought several & used these for 8 years. PROS: Very light, does not gouge wood or composite decks, snow does not stick to urethane as much as other materials. CONS: Hardware needs to be reinforced between handle & blade to avoid loosening (I caulk both parts with Liquid Nails before first use), urethane blade wears at both ends (blade becomes convex) when shoveling concrete, road base or rough surfaces & is unusable after 2 average Colorado winters. Recommend for decks, find a different brand shovel with metal edge for anything else.
