Which is better for heavy snow?

The Garant. Its deep sleigh blade and 30.5 in intake height are made for heavy snowfalls and large areas. The True Temper is rated for light to medium accumulations.

Which is easier to carry and use on stairs?

The True Temper. It weighs 2.9 lb against about 11.7 lb for the Garant, and its D-grip suits walkways and stairs.

Is the Garant worth the extra money?

If you get deep snow and clear a large driveway, yes. Otherwise the True Temper at $32.98 does the job for less than half the price.

Both use a steel wear strip on a poly blade. The Garant's steel handle and heavier build suggest longer life under heavy use, but neither maker gives a warranty figure here.

Do both clear a 24 in path?

Yes. Both have a 24 in blade width, so each pass clears the same width.
