Great concept inadequate materials

Great concept inadequate materials
Don’t be discouraged from buying this product. If you have a bad back and still want to shovel, it will help. However the down fall of this product is in the strength of the plastic. Upon first use I could tell this is a product that requires a bit of care in how you use it, so as not to break the plastic handle. I took advice from someone else’s review and bought some bolts to put through the shovel handle. This helped secure it to the shovel and made it feel a lot more sturdy. Without the bolts it is very easy for THE HEFT handle to pop off of the shovel during heavy use. That being said this product reduces the stress on my back considerably, that’s 20 bucks well spent.

Love the design and facilitation it offers. I live in the Sierras so one lasts almost a winter, depending. I wish these sorts of things were made more appropriately sturdy... snow and ice management is not a lightweight task.

I bought this to attach to a snow shovel (that is also for taller statures). This was huge in preventing lower back strain or getting tired quickly from trying to shovel snow. I've used it, husband loves it and teenage boys felt it made the job easier too.

Bought the 2 pack. I absolutely love them! One for myself and one for my senior mother. Easy to put on. Stays on and doesn’t move around! Work fantastic, and wish I had found this sooner! Works on snow shovels, rakes, normal shovels, and anything else with normal handles. Saves a ton of money not having to buy new shovels and rakes, and trying to find ones that actually have this handle. Worth every penny! My mother is 65, and has some issues, she has been able to shovel snow without 3 days recovery after! I’m disabled with 4 back surgeries, I was able to shovel for almost an hour! This is terrific! Will buy more for every family member and loved one I have!!!

I like the idea, and for the first moments I loved it. But then it kept falling off, and then the pads fell off, and then I had glue all over my shovel shaft. Bolting it on would likely help but I didn't sign up for a diy and the pads are messed up. Oh, and if it's on permanently it wouldn't fit by my door. Looking for other options.

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2023
Item Package Quantity: 1Size: StandardVerified Purchase
The 1st time I used this product the rubber grip parts that attach To the handle of the shovel came off. It was sliding up and down the shaft of the handle and from side to side. I was using a very standard handle Shovel from home depot. This made a very difficult to use. I thought it would help Reduce the work I was doing instead It made it more difficult to lift any load. It's a good idea but I would have to argue is a poor execution for what it's supposed to do.
