Garant 24in Poly Sleigh Snow Shovel vs Suncast Big Scoop Sled Shovel

The Garant 24in Poly Sleigh is the better all-round pick for most homes: it is lighter, wider and has a steel wear strip that protects the poly blade on driveways and walkways. The Suncast Big Scoop is a bigger, heavier scoop with a steel blade and resin shaft, which suits pushing large drifts but is harder to lift and carry. Owners rate the Garant highly for fast clearing of deep snow; the Suncast is a solid second for straight-ahead scooping.

• Choose the Garant 24in Poly Sleigh if you want a lighter, wider shovel that glides over pavement and handles deep snow in fewer passes.
• Choose the Suncast Big Scoop if you want a steel-bladed scoop for pushing long runs of snow and don't mind the extra weight.
