Innovations for the Snow Shovel

By Douglas Cordell

If you've ever shoveled snow off from your driveways and pathways, you've most likely experienced the back aches and pains that come with it. Are you tired of all the time you waste doing this necessary but grueling chore? Have you ever thought about buying expensive machinery just so your life would be easier, at least in shoveling snow?

Nowadays, there are countless solutions offered for the annoying reality that is snow. Haven't we all wished it would go away at some point? Unfortunately, winter comes along every year and with it, comes snowfall. What we can offer is a cheap alternative to dealing with the piles of snow. You will exert little effort when you use our product, and it is quite easy to put away as a regular snow shovel. I would like to introduce to you, the wovel.

The wovel is a new product that was developed to help in our struggle against the snow piled up around. It is essentially still the same old standard snow shovel, but with an add-on that makes it safer, faster and easier to use than the normal snow shovel.

The first difference between the wovel and the regular snow shovel is the material used in the blade. The standard shovel uses heavy metal, but we have used a super-light one to construct the blade. It is then connected to a three to four foot handle. The wovel is thus lighter and will not add much weight to the snow you have to lift up and throw away. You get to carry bigger piles of snow at once.

At the part wherein the blade is joined to the handle, there is a length of cord that is attached. It is a sturdy, flexible cord, about three feet in length and is not unlike the material used in bungee cords. It is equipped with a handle at the other end, which allows you to hold on firmly. With these, you will eliminate the need to bend over to shovel off snow. Your back is quite safe from injury and your upright position will let you lift snow with less force exerted.
