Review on COFIT 43" Retractable Snow Shovel, Aluminium Alloy Snow Sand Mud Removal Tool For Car Outdoor Camping And Garden, Detachable Four-Piece Construction, Black by Doug Nelson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Saved me a tow today

I regularly turn around at a hilltop clearing, but today I overshot the clearing by 5 feet and my wife's car dropped into foot-deep snow. Normally that's no problem for her studded snow tires, but snow there had crusted over into ice so the car high-centered. Plenty of traction on the tires, but the chassis was planted firmly in an icy box. I telephoned for my sons to bring my truck to tow us out, and then got out the COFiT shovel to start digging. The length and shape of the shovel is perfect for snow or crust ice. I quickly cleared front, back, and sides. The only challenge was getting all the way under the car. A flatter shovel would have worked best, so I simply popped off the blade and used the handle to poke the ice until it broke into scoop-able chunks. I can't imagine a better shovel design. When I was done, I drove the car back up on the road and never needed the two when it arrived. The shovel fit right back into the plastic waterproof bag so the car stays clean. I'm going to buy these as gifts. Highly recommended.
