If you're generally only doing a couple inches, and you can push the snow, these are the best shovels I've found and used over the years...

I do commercial snow removal and have tried probably 20+ different shovels over the years. These are by far the best and strongest.

Don't get one with a metal edge.

If you have to actually lift the snow, to throw it over a bank or railing, we generally use these grain shovels...
