Is the Ames Sleigh Shovel good for a wood deck?

Yes. The poly blade is the main reason to pick it: it slides over wood without the gouges a metal edge leaves. Keep the blade off gravel and stone, where any edge can catch.

How wide is it, and is that enough?

The blade is 16 inches wide. That is fine for decks, steps and narrow walks, but expect more passes on a wide driveway than with a 24-inch pusher.

Is $169.99 a good price?

Only one store lists it new at $169.99 as of November 5, 2026, so there is no lower price to compare. That is high for a manual poly shovel, so check the price history before buying.

Will it handle wet, heavy snow?

It can push light snow well, but a 2.1 lb manual shovel gives you no leverage on wet, packed snow. Plan on shorter pushes and more of them.

The shovel ships as one assembled unit: poly blade, steel shaft and D-grip handle. No tools or extra parts are needed.

Snow shovels usually drop in price in late winter and early spring clearance. Watch the price history rather than buying at the first snow.

Our take on the Ames Sleigh Shovel

The Ames Sleigh Shovel is a manual snow shovel with a 16-inch poly combo blade and a steel shaft with a D-grip handle. It weighs about 2.1 lb, so it is light enough to push one-handed across a deck. The poly blade is meant to slide over wood without scratching it. At $169.99 at Amazon as of November 5, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no cheaper store to compare against right now.
