yardworks we like your shovels
Toronto, 2019.03.17
We use snow shovels from "Yardworks" - in the interest of product failure analysis, here are some pics of one shovel that broke. We've got a few shovels from this company; we like the solid wood handles. the adjustable secondary handles, and the durable blades. However this year we had at least two same-day record snowfalls (one each in January and February) and we had two ice storms. So it's been a lot of heavy lifting.

From the last pic you get a sense of how old the shovel was when we had to retire it - the sticker's still readable.
