I have had five (5) of these shovels. Three (3) of them have broken in the same place (where the screw holds the blade to the handle). I do have to say that A.M. Leonard did replace two (2) of them at no charge but what good is having a replacement if they simply break in the same place. I am a good customer of A.M. Leonard and usually I'm very very satisfied with their products but this shovel needs some research and development. Until the problem is fixed I would avoid purchasing this unit.
This shovel has pushed some major snow this winter. So much I've worn it down to a smaller shovel. I'm ready for another one!
We purchased a few of these shovels and they only lasted us 2-3 storms before the wooden handle snapped at the base where it goes into the plastic shovel. The wooden handles on the Bigfoot were noticeably smaller in diameter compared to many of our other shovels. Bigfoot does not provide any warranty for commercial use. I would not recommend this shovel. There are many better options out there for this price range.
Not even a BAD winter here, lasted less than the cheap dollar store varieties.
My father had one for many years and used it daily before moving to Florida and handing it down to me. I too have used it for years until I finally broke it on a hunk of ice. I can only guess that is was 10 years old. I cant find them anywhere near me. Sad...
