18″ Arctic Blast Aluminum Snow Shovel
την σκαφην σκαφην λεγοντας
IN 1925, a builder constructed a row of attached brick homes on farmland outside Philadelphia, across from a new high school. In time, sidewalks were added. Travel forward to the year 2014. I am standing on the same sidewalk, in front of my home, contemplating the approaching nor’easter. 10″ of snow is due to begin falling at midnight. My neighbor’s shovel, borrowed by me since time immemorial, was stolen off his front porch a week ago. A hanging crime in these parts.
With reluctance, I visit the big box home center, expecting end-of-season flimsy imported garbage. And what greets me at the door? Giant boxes stuffed with excellent domestic-production snow shovels!
Selected was a mid-level product, suitable for home owners and perhaps even contractors. 18″ wide, all aluminum, heavy-duty riveted steel wear strip. Roomy handle for gloved hands. About $20 at The Home Depot.
