About eight years ago, I got the best snow shovel I've ever used as a Christmas gift. It was big, light, tough, and was useful for scraping snow/ice off the driveway and picking up snow and tossing it aside. Unfortunately, the blade broke last winter after several seasons of use. I've been looking for a replacement and would buy the exact same shovel if I could, but like an idiot I didn't think to make a note of the make/model (I still have the handle but it has no markings). I do know that it was a 24" shovel/pusher combo with a black blade and yellow handle that looked similar to this Suncast spf2450:



Does anyone have a high quality snow shovel that they really like? If so, please feel free to share specific brands/models and good places to buy them. :thumbup:

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

First photo is of our house on Feb 15, 2015. Second photo is of Ken snowblowing the driveway just as one of the town snowplows drove by at some other time. For reference, the lamppost in front of the house is 8' tall to the top of the light.
Snow depth is just between 5' and 6' there.

That year I don't think we saw the lawn between New Year's Day and just about the first day of spring in March...

Ugh, the winter of 2015 was the worst in my lifetime. We had snow in our yard from late January through mid-April!

This is what the front of the house looked like after the first storm on January 28th (with my beloved shovel leaning against the garage):



I had to use a roof rake on our above ground pool more than once so that it wouldn't collapse under the weight of the snow. This is the back yard on March 7th:
