Go Retire Psychiatrist

We finally got enough snow to test the new shovels today. Recall we have a cordless electric snow shovel and a snow pusher plow shovel with a 36-inch blade. The battery-powered model is a 48V 16-inch Voltask.

I was a little surprised to learn how powerful the electric shovel is. It comes with two batteries. It has a safety button which you have to press at the same time you pull the trigger. It comes with lights so if you ever want to clear snow after dark, you could do that. Of course, there’s no heavy lifting and it’s easy to push. It can throw snow a long way and you can also direct it left or right. It’s like a vacuum in reverse.

Sena selected the Voltask and save a lot of money. There were other models that were priced in the 400–500-dollar range which didn’t have the features the Voltask has.

The snow plow of course, is a simple tool—just the way I like them. The narrow 36-inch blade makes snow clearing quick and there is also no heavy lifting. Spraying a little snow and ice repellent on the blade cuts down on buildup as you work.

I still prefer a shovel.
