AMES poly snow shovel pusher 18-inch with ergonomic D-grip steel handle, nylon wear strip for deck-safe clearing

The AMES True Temper 1603400 is an 18-inch poly snow shovel and pusher with a nylon wear strip and an ergonomic D-grip steel handle designed for efficient snow clearing and surface protection.

Built to move snow without scratching decks or patios, this combination shovel/pusher blends a rugged poly blade with a nylon wear strip and a 37.4-inch ergonomic steel handle. The oversized D-grip lets you hold the tool comfortably while wearing gloves, and the blade shape works well for both scooping and pushing light to moderate snowfall. Designed for home driveways, sidewalks and decks, it balances durability and comfort so clearing snow takes less time and strain.

How does the blade protect decks and patios while clearing snow?

The poly blade is paired with a nylon wear strip that resists abrasion and minimizes scraping on delicate surfaces. Unlike metal blades, the nylon edge slides over wood, composite and concrete without leaving gouges, while still pushing snow effectively.

• Nylon wear strip prevents damage to decks and patios
• Poly blade resists cracking and stays lightweight for easier handling
• 18-inch combination shape suits both scooping and pushing snow

Will the handle make long shoveling sessions easier?

The 37.4-inch ergonomic steel handle is shaped to reduce bending and give improved leverage when lifting or pushing snow. The oversized D-grip fits gloved hands and provides a secure hold that helps control the shovel during repetitive motions.

• Ergonomic curvature reduces back strain and improves posture
• Oversized D-grip accommodates winter gloves for secure handling
• Steel handle offers strength without excessive weight

Can I use this shovel for both pushing and scooping snow?

Yes — the 18-inch combination blade is designed to perform as both a pusher and a scoop. Its profile lets you clear wide swaths with a push and also hold a practical load when you need to lift snow away from walkways or entrances.

• Combination blade shape balances capacity and control
• Able to push in long strokes or scoop moderate loads
• Sized for residential use: sidewalks, driveways, steps and decks

How long can I expect this shovel to last under normal use?

The durable poly blade and reinforced nylon wear strip are made to withstand routine winter use while protecting surfaces from damage. With proper storage and avoiding excessive prying or use on rocky, abrasive terrain, the shovel will retain performance season after season.

• Nylon wear strip extends blade life and reduces wear
• Poly construction resists splitting in cold temperatures
• Steel handle provides long-term structural support

Who is this for: Homeowners and renters who clear their own walkways, decks and small driveways will appreciate this AMES True Temper shovel for its surface-friendly edge, glove-ready D-grip and a handle length that helps limit bending. It suits anyone looking for a lightweight yet sturdy tool for routine snow removal without the risk of damaging outdoor surfaces.
