Snow Oars Versatile Design
Curved Blade with Side Walls and Deflector Flange
The ergonomically designed Snow Oar has a narrow shallowly curved blade with side walls and deflector flange that allows an upright user to easily drive the Snow Oar face-on into fallen snow and slush. A user can manually plow, propel, launch, or otherwise move snow laterally away from the user in a forward, sideways, or rearward direction with the intention of avoiding back strain, heavy lifting or bending conditions.
Elongated Handle Design
Compared to traditional snow shovels, the elongated handle provides leverage allowing a user to push, pull, and propel snow efficiently and effectively.
Knob-shaped Grip
The Snow Oar handle has a knob-shaped grip empowering a user to apply force comfortably and easily. This also protects against a user inadvertently releasing or "throwing" the Snow Oar.
Other Ways to Use Snow Oar
Pusher Plowing
The implement can also be employed so the blade skims pavement at a shallow angle permitting a rapid pushing motion to send snow, slush, or ice ahead of the blade to a distant spot.
Skim Shovel Method
The skim shoveling method permits a user to skim a load of snow or slush, and using the elongated handle, flick it out of the way to a desired location.
Traditional Shoveling
Snow-Oar can also be employed in a traditional shoveling mode and can be used to clear open or narrow spaces, wide or narrow steps, with or without parapet walls, rails, or other barriers.
