There is no way this is the best tool for cleaning snowWhen I walked to work I saw dozens of pathetic men almost dying scraping their driveways while their plastic piece of shit shovel wobbled and bent in all directions. Surely someone in history invented some tool better than this
Well they own a car while you walk to work so they are clearly smarter than you
Why would anybody use plastic tools instead of metal tools to shovel heavy stuff? Plastic is literally never better than metal in terms of durability.
>>107781495a snow plow?
>>107781495If the snow is soft and fluffy, these are the best.They're light weight, which makes it much easier clean up the snow.If the snow is wet or compressed, you need something stronger. A shovel with metal blade or something.Of course, you could also just run sprinklers on your drive to melt the snow, so long as you're willing to run them basically non-stop for days.
>>107781523if you like a scratched driveway, sure
>>107781515Check out mister lard ass over here.
Because normalfags are retards. You use the shovel to remove the majority of the snow, then salt the ground to make the rest melt. You will never fucking get the frozen icey snow out of the asphalt cracks. Even as a kid I knew this but my dumbass father kept insisting I should just keep scraping the ice off the ground. Just remembering it pisses me off
>Ameripoors can't into heated driveways>Ameripoors can't into snowproof cement or tempered fibre panels we put in front of garagesHey I'm all for shitting on most of europe as well, don't get me wrong, but why are you guys like this?I'd rather kill myself than waste so much time manually showering that white shit. Never again.
>>107781589Nice try you euroboo american, nobody in europe owns the front of their home
I have an aloo min mum one
>>107781558>scratched drivewayAre people out here trying to keep their driveways pristine? Do you really?
>>107781495Of course it's not the best fucking tool for it. Americans are just too retarded to do some research and learn from superior snow-dwelling civilizations
>>107781641Childless women are now putting snow in strollers baka
Americans don't have wood because they use it for toilet paper and building paper houses.
>>107781655I have a wood right here *unzips dick*
>>107781562you weren't doing it right.
>>107781683*cracks open a miller light*
>>107781495>Clearing snowThis is a Sisyphean task for mentally ill societies.The correct thing to do in response to snow is take a sled and skis everywhere.
>>107781714Okay*skiis to the bus stop*
>>107781495you can use a jet engine if you have one lying around
>>107781515FPBP
>>107781495>There is no way this is the best tool for cleaning snowSnowblowers are pretty standard here in Scandinavia. I use a Husqvarna made here in the area.
>>107781742
>>107781495its free exercise and fresh air what the fuck are you complaining about?
>>107781754anon, free exercise is worth it if you enjoy itif it sucks, you better get paid for it
>>107781754More like free heart attack.
I wish ' they' would design a shovel to be shaped like a plow. Then you could just plow down your driveway from left to right. All snow ends up on right side for street plow truck to take away.
>>107781523Metal is often heavy, requires more maintenance, and snow sticks to it a lot easier. > use a lighter metal like aluminumI can buy multiple plastic shovels for the price that would cost.just get a thicker plastic and it won't bend or break easily.
It's fun and gets out out into the winter snowy silence and the super fresh air for a bit, you get some movement and can then go inside and make warm tea. Goated as fuck I love snow shoveling.>>107781754This>>107781772But it's enjoyable>>107781752>disturbs the perfect snow silence in the neighborhood with disgusting motor shrieks in your way
>>107782665Watching wagies scrape their windshields while it’s two taps in my phone to melt it al off of my tesla
I am unable to pull the pulley. I tried fixing it but no luck. Gonna have to pay someone $400 to fix it for me.
I am 30 years old my back hurts when I shovel da snow
>>107782716>parking his car outsidetoo poor for a garage, I see
>>107781495Well we replaced everything metal with plastic for no reason only to then proclaim a fatwah against plastic straws for no reason.
>>107782821>no reasonit's light, cheap, doesn't rust or rot, doesn't scratch shit, ...
>>107782841>plastic doesn't rotkys retard
>>107781538>a snow plow?Dimwitted Indian I presume?
>>107781589>heated driveways>just heat the ground outside goys!>>107781641>just push a sled-barge of snow around! Just start making the pile a mile away so there's enough room.
>>107781558every pavement that is older than 6 months already has cracks in it. and your 2 ton car does more damage than a metal shovel will ever do
>>107782970show me a plastic shovel with rot
>>107783108nta but many plastics go weak and brittle under the effect of UV lighti donft htink it would apply to a plastic snow shoveland even if it does, the shovel sits in a shed 99.999% of the time>>107783090thats just bad craftsmanship
>stainless steel shovel>rustingi don't get it
>>107781495I thank God every day I live in a mediterranean climate and only see snow when I drive to the mountains.
>on topic discussion in good thread>europeans show up>durr durr america bad here's some useless knowledge about my retarded flyover country america america america just range ban euros. they don't contribute anything to the internet and they never will.
>>107783299you aren't keeping your shovel submerged in water, are you?
>>107782764Interesting. What happens when I put my penis inside?
Imagine choosing to own a home in a place where it is regularly freezing cold and the weather tries to kill you. Tropicalchads stay winning
>>107783519When it gets warm here, the niggers come out and start niggering. I want to move to a place where it's cold all year so I don't have to see them at all.
>>107781613YesA scratched driveway looks fucking awful
>>107783514Your tiny little white pecker?
>>107783484is your snow chlorinated?
Why can't you circulate water to prevent accumulation in the first place? Geothermal is already used indoors, this just shortens the loop
>>107783085>>107781641>>just push a sled-bargeThat is the point. You don't lift, and its reinforced enough that you can kick the frame if you want it to go deeper into the pile. And you don't lift it to empty it, so you don't get tired.Shoveling is harsh because at some point into the cycle you have to lift the snow. You can't just wedge it across the entire yard into a pile, or get it off a larger drainage ditch.
>>107783618Yeah. Will it make me cum? Or bleed? That's the only question that matters when buying a new technology.
>>107783514It would be extremely painful.
>>107783656this does exist, but it's expensive and only the rich really have them for driveways.I have a friend with geothermal in floor heating and he hates it, says the pumps are always leaking or breaking down.
>>107783673and don't need to hunch to operate it, can just push it uprightyour back will thank you
This thing works pretty well
>>107781742So you live in China?
>>107783815Uncle bought one for $60 on Ali and works well
>>107781544ChatGPT....Water makes ice you dummy
>>107783815They're literally just mini snow blowers, which means they're pretty good and will save your back.>>107781558>he doesn't know how to resurface his drivewayWhat are you, retarded?
Are you poor? Just put heating elements under the pavement.
>>107783927>so long as you're willing to run them basically non-stop for days
>>107782777I never understood this. Are you retarded or do you take the garage with you everywhere you go?

Americans are low iq, 40 % can't read even 6th-grade level, can't drive a car, food/water is poison etc. So obese you can't do anything but cry and cry because you are so obsessed about Europeans. Tip: learn to argue next time instead of just humiliating yourself by insulting yourself with a useless crying noise. Your "message" is just noise. Holy shit you are sad.
>>107784108>there’s no thesis, evidence, or even a coherent complaint>just insults and tribalismThat's because criaturas hechas de jarabe de maíz con alto contenido de fructosa are incapable of forming coherent thoughts.

>>107781495>cleaning snowWhat is thus ESL garbage? Thus makes it sound you are getting a bottle of windex and a rag and trying to remove dirt from the snow. Learn to English, faggot
>>107781495My brother was up in gravenhurst for the summer/fall and heard a story about a family who moved up there full time and started off with some dinky little electric snow blower for the first winter, that switched to a proper gas powered one by the second winter.
>>107781562Salt fucks up the soil, rusts out vehicles quickly, and doesn't even work if it's actually cold
>>107784342Personally I really like shoveling the snow every morning. It's a good way to start the day with some light exercise, and getting out into the cold wakes you up better than any coffee.
>>107782665>disturbs the perfect snow silence in the neighborhood with disgusting motor shrieks in your wayPlenty of electrical ones on the market. I just got the cheapest one = petrol driven. And I don't live in a neighborhood. No neighbors at all.
>>107781515>owning a car means you're smartHave you ever driven a car on a public road in your life before?
>>107784533Pushing around a snowblower isn't a light stretch. Especially if you have a long driveway. It's just a question of whether you get enough snow for it to be worthwhile.
>>107784661I've never used a snowblower because I'm not fat or old. And yes I've lived in places with heavy snowfall almost every day during the winter which was about half the year. The shovel is fun.
>>107781495 Call Mr. Plow, That's my name. That name again is Mr. Plow.
>>107785479SEÑOR PLOW NO ES MACHO ES SOLAMENTE UN BORRACHO
>>107783673So I just hit the unload button then? You still need to dump the fucker out.
>>107783790How will this help with the iced snowplow berm at the end of my driveway?
>>107784755
>>107781772>you enjoy itA man enjoys working. Your muscles do not care where the work comes from. Grow a fucking pair.
>>107783283>>107783299A stainless steel shovel would cost over 100 dollars. A plastic shovel is less than 20. Any questions?
>>107786428But what about the weight? 2 pounds for a plastic shovel and 15 pounds for a steel snow shovel, bigger number is better right?
>>107786405It's not trolling, noodle arms
>>107781495Get a snowblower. Gas powered, the electric ones are weak.
>>107784349Not my problem
Kek /g/ is full of weak pathetic trannies. Shoveling takes 15 minutes. You just fucking do it and quit being a little bitch!
>>107787415Imagine not living in a large house LolmaoWhat's it like being poor? Let me guess, 9% interest?
>>107787636Imagine being so ostensibly fucking destitute that you have to shovel snow yourself.
Use case for clearing snow?Seems a lot more effort than just walking through the snow once or twice a day.I mean how many seconds will you be walking over that path you just spend half an hour clearing until the next snow falls and you have to do it all over again?
>>107787846Imagine being such a fat and lazy failure of a man that you can't shovel snow yourself.
>>107784349Which is why urea is much better.Only downside: it smells like piss.
>>107787933>y-y--you're a fegitYeah sure whatever the destitute peasant says.
>>107787914So that I can move my fucking car? God I hate city dwelling rentoids.
>>107788067How weak and pathetic is your car that you can't drive through some now?
>>107788067>muh shitty dwellers>t. drives a 2003 smart
>>107781495a snow blower?
>>107788293>>107788320You can tell they're rentoids, also it's a rwd v8 tyvm!
my snow shovel is aluminium and woodsucks to suck
>>107781495Tons of salt. But the environment doesn't like it.
>>107787914Fun fact - when day temperatures are getting slightly above zero, most of the times night temperatures still will be below. Snow melts partially of completely through the day and then freezes into thick, hard, slippery as fuck layer of ice. Not only it's dangerous to walk on it, but it's also much more difficult to remove it. Have fun breaking the ice using metal shovel or lol pickaxe.
>>107792685You cant salt the road goy it is le bad for the environment*pumps 300 tons of roundup in the local rivers to increase profits by 2%*

>>107781495I live in Japan in the winterWe average about 6m of snow around my houseI have a variety of snow shovelsOne like your picrelOne made of metal for breaking iceOne that's made for pushing snow into pilesBut the most important one is what Japan calls the "mama dump"I can move boulders of snow with itWhich is important when you finish shoveling at 7pm, then wake up to chest deep snow again at 5am
>>107793462btw, it is important to know that when using the mama dump, you can easily make a mistake and break it. The correct way is,1) put your foot on the cross bar and ram it into the snow2) important: lift! Lift the top bar until the snow breaks loose3) now you can push down with your weight and sled the snow awayIf you skip step 2, what happens is the snow will be too solid someday and you will bend your mama dump near the crossbar. At this point, you need to go buy a new one. It only gets worse after this.
>>107783815Battery powered ones are shit, super weak and don't last long. Hell, even plug-in electric are underpowered for a heavy snowfall.Most people here use shovels for just a light snowfall, and have a gas powered snowblower for anything harder.
>>107781495I pay a guy $30 to use the plow on his truck to clear my road (I live innawoods).
>>107794739I also pay a guy $30 to plow my wife
holy shit everyone in this thread is a retardyou use pic related for most of the snow and then a smaller regular snow shovel for small paths, stairs/steps and around vehicles.
>>107781544>Running sprinklers when it's freezing outsideUh, you're supposed to turn that shit off and drain the lines, otherwise the sprinkler pipes will crack and burst.
