Big Gry Scoop/Float, January 18, 2007
By S. Pappas
I think this is one of the best oversized
shovels you can get. It helps you you catch
a lot of snow you would have missed with a
smaller shovel. I like the SMS Snowscoop
from AM Leonard & the Big Gray Scoop from
Suncast for moving lots of snow. Shipping
for both was inexpensive.

I LOVE this scoop. It really shines in the
big snows, you can move literally tons of
snow with it -- without vertical lifting --
in fairly short order. The sturdy
construction and steel front edge can even
make a dent in those dreaded piles of
street-plow "snowcrete". I'm not sure if
this is supposed to come with instructions,
but I didn't get any. It was clumsy and
awkward to use at first, but once I started
thinking of it as part front-end loader and
part toboggan/sled -- the fun-factor went
way up and the snow started flying. Create a
ramp/sluice to a convenient dumping spot
with the first load, then at the end either
jerk back on the handle or else twist
left/right to eject the snow. The poly scoop
has low surface affinity for snow, so it
slides on top of and ejects snow from it
with ease. Definitely the best $40 I've ever
spent on a snow removal tool.

I live in southwestern Colorado--ie, we have
lots of snow. I already own one Suncast Big
Scoop--it's about 11 eleven years old. It
works so well at moving LARGE quantities of
snow that I'm buying a spare. In terms of
manually removing and moving snow, there are
two superb products available--the Super
Scoop and the Snow Pusher Plus ([...]). I
use both and swear by both. If you're not
into vehicle plows and snowthrowers, then
you can't go wrong with the Super Scoop.
