This 'lightweight' ergonomic shovel can 'handle heavy snow' — and it's on sale for $60 on Amazon

January has been frigid in Canada, hasn't it? Cold winds, snow storms and squalls have definitely kept Canadians on their (ice-cold) toes. And I hate to say it, but the winter chill's not quite done with us yet. As we brave the cold, it's crucial to have the right equipment for snow removal. If you need help getting rid of the white stuff, a snow blower or snow thrower are both great options. However, they can be pretty costly, which means some of us prefer to stick to shovelling.

While it's a cheaper option, snow shovelling can be dangerous. If you feel like you're over-exerting yourself, or if your back tends to hurt after shovelling, we found an Amazon Canada deal that might be of interest. Check out this Snow Shovel with Ergonomic Handle that shoppers say is "way easier on the back" than other shovels.

The details

The scoop of the shovel is 18 inches wide and has an aluminum strip across the front to get underneath packed snow and ice.
