MANPLOW RevolutionX Snow Pushers and Shovels (Power U Handle, 32")

I, too, think it should come with the middle pole that goes from one side to the other of the handle poles so you can lift. You shouldn't have to pay extra. But for me, 5 feet tall, I lean over, go between the handle poles, and lift that way, so I probably wouldn't use the middle pole. But most people aren't as short as me. And my back hurts more when I do it this way.I used this shovel to clean leaves out of my street so the water could flow to the drain. It works well. And I will use it for snow shoveling. Others are saying you need to use it with only a few inches of snow, not more. I would guess they are right. Watch the video on how to use it. You angle it to the side and then every few feet, lift it to pack the snow into the bank on the side.Wish there was a mechanical lift on the back that you could press and have it lift automatically to above the curb so then you could just tip the snow onto the curb without using your back. Any inventors want to create and patent that?I like this shovel because it fits between the edges of my sidewalk perfectly, and the blade can be turned over when one side gets worn. It does not have a metal blade, so it may wear faster. This shovel is worth what I paid for it and is sufficient and lightweight. Be careful with your back when using it.

Husband wanted a wide shovel for the drive. One problem, when I received it the box was damaged. Was missing assembly hardware. Contacted Manplow and received a quick response as well as quick delivery of the missing parts! Thank you!!

I wanted something to push lighter snow around instead of firing up the snowblower all the time. My driveway is 120 feet long. This 40" plow works perfectly. It has a little bit of heft to it, but its not heavy. I attribute this to it being a solid piece of equipment. Has a nice cushioned u-handle. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that you have to buy the lift handle separately. The lift handle is a must with these and I don't understand why they're not part of the original equipment. $16 for a separate bar and hardware isn't much, but it should be included with the initial purchase. The plow itself is a strong piece of HDPE and can take a beating, but is not made to chip away at ice. Just be aware, you won't want to plow 6" of accumulation with these, but 2-3" will be fine. It does exactly what I wanted it to do and I'm pleased so far.

Shovel is pretty awesome! I can do my driveway and sidewalk in no time at all. I also purchased the middle handle to help with the heavy snow. This shovel, 40", gets a lot of snow! Wet snow make this thing heavy. The middle handle is a god-send. I highly recommend or you will not be able to lift this with heavy snow. My driveway is about 75 feet long x 25 feet wide. Sidewalk is standard 4 feet wide x 100 feet long.Would definitely buy again if needed. It didn't snow much here in the Philadelphia area this year but when it did...was awesome!

I have a lot of driveway and in deep/heavy snow use either a 4-wheeler with a plow or 10 hp snow thrower to clear it. But when I just get about an inch, this Manplow is perfect. It clears a lot of driveway in very little time and is quicker and easier than maneuvering the 4-wheeler. Be aware it's made to push snow not to lift and throw it.

I like the man plow and it's my third one, yup I simply wore the other two down on both sides. It makes quick work of my driveway, sidewalk and patios. Get the additional bar for the stability. I added two handles as well. It's a bit heavy for my wife to push around but then it is a Man Plow and all. Great product and when I wear this one down I will buy another one.

I purchased the 48” model with the boost bar. Without the u-shaped handle I would not be able to push this amount of snow but I found this model a delight. The boost bar does allow you to toss the snow somewhat at the end of your push without actually lifting anything. I would not do without it now that I have it. I am very pleased with the purchase. It cut my shovel time by more than 60% (I shovel over 3000 sqft in Pa). It’s pricy but totally worth it.

This shovel is amazing! If you're pushing snow off your walkway or driveway, you'll be spoiled after you own this. Plus, if you buy the optional grab bar, it will be easy to lift up the snow that you've moved off to the side.You'll still need another shovel to dig out your mailbox or fire hydrant, or to dig out your driveway if it has 9 or more inches of snow on it, but for the majority of snow removal this has become my primary shovel.
