Which is better for a gravel driveway?

Neither is ideal on loose gravel. The Garant's steel wear strip will dig in and scatter stones. The SnowPlow's UHMW edge glides better but still catches on uneven gravel. Use a poly-edge pusher set slightly above the surface.

Which clears deep snow faster?

The Garant. Its deep sleigh blade holds a large load and pushes it in few passes, which is what it was designed for after heavy snowfalls. The SnowPlow is better for scraping thin layers off flat surfaces.

Which is better for a wood deck?

The SnowPlow. Its non-stick UHMW blade won't scratch or splinter deck boards the way the Garant's steel wear strip can. Keep the SnowPlow on decks, patios and steps.

Is the SnowPlow worth 65 cents more?

Only if you clear decks, patios or steps. For a long driveway after heavy snow, the Garant's sleigh blade does more work per pass. The price gap is trivial either way.

Both use replaceable-style wear edges. The Garant's steel strip resists abrasion on concrete; the SnowPlow's UHMW is softer but self-sharpening and won't rust. On rough concrete the Garant edge wears slower.

Can I use the SnowPlow commercially?

Yes. SnowPlow markets it as commercial-grade for contractors, with a fiberglass handle and UHMW blade. The Garant is listed for residential use.
