SusanPfautsch says "Durable, lightweight and easy to maneuver" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

SusanPfautsch — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:06:12 GMT

Great shovel..even though I only had to use it once. It is lightweight, very strong and ergonomic. I bought this shovel because I only want to buy something once and this shovel had all the attributes you would want. Add to that a lifetime guarantee and you got it all. I am very happy with this shovel and I think anyone would feel the same.

CheeseheadMom says "Try to break it!! Strong and light weight." about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

CheeseheadMom — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:01:18 GMT

The only thing I don't like about this shovel is that if the snow is hard or icy it is too flexible to break though. For the easy stuff it is the best shovel we have bought.. otheres have only lasted a season or two . This one is on year 4.

DaveyScott says "Great snow shovel and lifetime warranty." about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

DaveyScott — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:46:47 GMT

The shape holds a lot of snow and is very sturdy. I chipped a lot of ice with it until it finally cracked but was able to use it for much longer. Took it back to Sears and they happily gave me a new one. Can't beat that!

debrockwell says "The BEST snow shovel" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

debrockwell — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:32:59 GMT

This is the best snow shovel that I have ever owned and want to buy two more! First, let me start by saying that this shovel is extremely light weight. When I bought this, I actually was just looking for a really cheap snow shovel at Sears, but this was the only one they had left, and I am so glad i bought it. It cuts through snow like nothing. It is made out of an extremely durable type of plastic and it has a metal tip on it that is great for cutting through ice! This shovel got us through the huge snowstorm last winter. The padded handle is really nice! I don't even have to wear gloves when using it. Overall, because of the light weight, durability and padded handle I highly recommend this shovel to anyone! Did I mention it has the forever guarantee?...

shonseb says "Exactly what I wanted in a snow shovel." about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

shonseb — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 18:44:20 GMT

I purchased this last year and was skeptical at first by the clear plastic scoop. The price was high compared to other shovels next to it, but it had features others didn't. This shovel was well worth the money. This winter with the northeast getting dumped by snow, was perfect. The snow would stick sometimes but I spray a little PAM on the scoop and I had no problems.The grip is a nice thick rubberized one so it's very easy to hold and feels comfortable. I know others complained about the ergonomics, but it still the best snow shovel with a strait handle that I've ever seen or used. I've moved maybe a ton or more of snow with this and I expect it to last through tons more. It's so good my neighbors borrowed it when their old shovel broke and ended up buying this one for themselves!...

SnowGuy1 says "good multi purpose snow shovel" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

SnowGuy1 — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 20:21:51 GMT

After the pounding of snow that we got in 2010, I knew that I wanted a new, high end snow shovel for 2011. I don't normally like to splurge on yard equipment, but this was an exception. I wanted the most durable, space age, high capacity show shovel in existence. I was half serious when I told my wife that I was hoping to find a NASA branded shovel at the store. I can't say for sure if this is that shovel, but it's pretty **** good. The 20" scoop means you can move large quantities of snow very quickly. With a single scoop of this shovel, you can move a 12-18" thick layer of snow completely down to the concrete, including the hard, bottom layer of snow that sticks to the ground. Granted it's going to be heavy shovel full of snow, but it does make for quick work. Just remember to life with your legs! The metal ice breaker strip is great for cutting down to the conrete, but don't expect to break thick ice with it. After all, the body of the shovel is plastic and even though it's......

I received this in exchange for my 10 year old Craftsman that had worn down. I have used it several times of far and it does a fine job for me. The snow does stick a little to it but not too much. Best thing is I can exchange it again in another 10 years....

Snowmobileman says "GREAT SHOVEL" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

Snowmobileman — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 18:47:43 GMT

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 the mentality. Seriously though this shovel is great quality and the sraper bar also scrapes up sleet and freezing rain we always get here in the Northeast.

cherokeetrh says "This is the best snow shovel and it has a lifetime warranty!" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

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.

Buriedinsnow says "Poor excuse for a snow shovel." about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

Buriedinsnow — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 00:23:04 GMT

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 that has never shoveled snow in their life. Reminds me why I quit shopping at Sears. The lifetime warranty is no good when you can't get the product replaced with anything but junk. Just like their Kenmore vacuum cleaner that they stopped making bags for. Force you to buy something else. I'll buy a quality show shovel somewhere else.

den7854 says "Snow Shovel With Durability Issue" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

den7854 — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 20:20:24 GMT

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.

dapwoods says "Junk - scraper bar not guaranteed and you will wear it out" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

dapwoods — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:22:50 GMT

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 not as easy to use (no D-handle) but it is still going strong. My Craftsman is absolutely unusable as of this year. Maybe I can find a machine shop to rebuild my Craftsman the way it should have been built in the first place.

By the way, I am a card carrying Sears Best customer and I am getting fed up with some of the expensive name brand junk I have purchased at Sears in the last couple of...

jeeperpilot says "If you have to shovel snow, you need this!!!!" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

jeeperpilot — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 21:01:31 GMT

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 reason for four stars.

madgolfer says "Lifetime Craftsman Hand Tool Guarantee (almost)" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

madgolfer — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:19:06 GMT

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.

BlueCrewGuyInMA says "Light shovel with a big appetite" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

BlueCrewGuyInMA — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:33:47 GMT

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 came in handy when breaking apart sheets of compacted snow from the driveway.

Rumor has it there's a new ergonomic version of this shovel coming out. The traditional straight shaft is the only thing keeping this shovel from 5 stars. This basic design is functional but not as comfortable to use. However, it's still worthwhile for anyone looking to lighten their shoveling load. And, of course,...

tedc123 says "Broken" about Craftsman 20&#34 Combo Shovel

sears-feed — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 02:45:03 GMT

This shovel stinks. Unfortunately, it seems to be the only Craftsman snow shovel so when they are back in stock I will trade my broken one for a new one. This shovel did not even last one season! It's plastic. I had a feeling when I bought it that it might not last, but being a Craftsman figured it was worth a try. Sure wish they had some metal ones....
