This compact, 34-inch emergency snow shovel is perfect to have on hand in case disaster strikes because of its foldable design, adjustable shaft length, and durable blade.

A traditional snow shovel will be about 48 inches tall (this includes both the blade and the shaft), while snow pushers tend to be a bit longer. But the right length for you is going to depend on your height. As a general rule of thumb, a snow shovel should come to about chest height when placed on the ground, or to elbow height at a minimum. A longer shovel decreases the amount of bending over you have to do as you push or scoop snow, but a shorter shovel makes lifting and throwing the snow easier. This is why some snow shovels have adjustable shafts or secondary handles to assist in both tasks.

They perform well in situations where accuracy counts, providing better control in confined locations like staircases and walkways. On the other hand, snow ploughs are made to efficiently handle deeper snowfall and are suited for higher deposits. Although snow ploughs are efficient in covering large areas, they may not be as precise and flexible when it comes to detail work in confined spaces.
