ABSTRACT:
A lightweight molded plastic shovel for removing snow and ice has a reinforced scoop and a shock absorbing mechanism in the handle. The handle has a “D shaped” hand grip at one end telescoped over a guide surrounded by a coil spring. The other end of the guide telescopes into the shaft of the handle. The movement of the “D shaped” hand grip toward the scoop compresses the spring reducing shock during use.
