Craftsman 20" Combo Shovel Reviews
Rating Summary
“Exactly what I wanted in a snow shovel.”
“Poor excuse for a snow shovel.”
This was the only shovel available to replace the steel shovel with the fiber handle. The handle broke on my steel shovel after many years of good service. The first time I used this shovel was in heavy snow and it was flimsy and too light for heavy snow. Appeared to have been designed by someone...

Craftsman 20" Combo Shovel Reviews
I bought this shovel based on a lack of options at my Sears Hardware store. I was weary of the clear plastic shovel and for good reason. During the first season it broke when i was pushing a heavy snow. The store replaced it with no hassle but as others' have reviewed it is not always in stock. The metal blade does wear down quickly but my second shovel has been working okay for two seasons now. The only reason I would recommend this shovel to a friend is for the warranty and the lack of options available.
Craftsman 20" Combo Shovel is by far the best shovel out there!!!
I have used and had a number of snow shovels. I have put this model through a lot of snow and conditions that have broken previous models. Only improvement could be with ergonomics but as is it is good. The polycarbonate has less problems with wet snow sticking than the aluminum and other models.
This is a great shovel, takes care of wet heavy Maine snow with no problem. Despite what most reviews have said this shovel is available YEAR ROUND online, do the snowmobiles stay out at your local snowmobile dealer through summer?? No boats and 4-wheelers take over. So why would Sears not make room for season specific tools? Also I think most of the complainers think that a company should just have a product when they need it...they don't take into account any number of people might have come and taken advantage of their hand tool gaurantee before them. I need it u should have it that's...

I purchased this shovel last winter (December 2008) because one of our old ones had been stolen. What a great replacement!
The D handle is big enough for a gloved hand to easily fit, but with a rubberized grip for extra control. The shaft has a cushioned collar to eliminate the ice-cold shaft freezing your hands. The shaft itself is crafted of lightweight aluminum, and the blade is a lightweight transparent polycarbonate, which combine to reduce the weight of the shovel and make shoveling easier. After all, the snow is heavy enough! It also has a pretty durable ice-breaking blade on the edge, which...

so far so good, quick, light shove good for entry, walkways at least.
The scraper bar is not thick enough gauge to last. If you don't break something else on this shovel (which would be covered by the Craftsman guarantee) then you will wear out the bar which is not covered. That is planned obsolence on Sears' part. Also, the older Craftsman snow shovel (coated aluminum scoop, galvanized blade, D-handle, fibre handle) is no longer sold so they got me on that one. Can't replace it however it happens to break - clever work Sears. My much much older non-Craftsman, non Sears (coated aluminum scoop, thick gauge blade, long wood handle with out D-handle) is...

Needs to lose the metal scraper bar and foam, since they are not Lifetime Guaranteed (fine print sticker under the handle). Let the polycarbonate be the scraper, and make it a little narrower, step width for stairways.
If you have to shovel snow in any which way, you need this shovel. Do not waste your time buying shovel after shovel, season after season. Buy this once. Put it away somewhere in the garage or barn when you are done with it for the season. I have had this shover for a few years now, replaced it only once. Thanks to the Craftsman guarantee it was taken care of. 20 inches across, light wieght, very durable. The only drawback, it is not stocked all year. If you need to use the warranty do it while the snow flies. Otherwise you may have to sit on it for awhile. That is the only...
