Snow shovels can either be pushers or scoops but rarely are they both. We designed The Alpha Shovel to incorporate the best of both worlds with a blade that blazes right through the harshest conditions when clearing snow and ice from driveways and pathways. This badass, patented, snow-moving beast has been endorsed by The Jackson Hole Park and Pipe crew and other pros who know the importance of a quality purpose-built shovel. The adjustable handle (offered in red or blue) can extend the shovel length from 45” to 66” (114 cm to 168 cm), making it comfortable for any height user. The slight rocker of the Alpha allows the shovel to be floated above a rough surface such as bricks or pea gravel when moving snow. The Alpha ingeniously collapses down to just 22” x 14” x 5" (56 cm x 36 cm x 13 cm), incorporating the handle into the blade for storage, perfect for throwing on a shelf or into a winter gear box. The 6061 aluminum blade can be sharpened or resurfaced as needed and the shovel is a lightweight 4.5 lb. (2 kg). *Please note - DMOS has a strict MAP policy w/no third party selling (Amazon and alike), by purchasing this product you agree to our policies.
