ABSTRACT:
The snow shovel of this invention comprises a second handle which may be integrated into OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) shovels or marketed as a kit to the DIY (Do It Yourself) consumer for adding into existing shovels. The purpose of adding the second handle is to reduce the pressure on the back of the user and hence the name BACK EZE.TM. for the shovel. The handle specifically comprises a hollow tube through which a single rope passes twice (same direction both times) criss-crossing through the handle. The ends of the rope are tied to top extremities of the shovel. The middle of the rope is clove hitched to the long handlebar/stem of the shovel.
