Look into buying a metal grain shovel. Mine is going on 30 years, and my sons on 10 years. Only repair I had to make this year was to grind the edge flat due to all the scrapping against asphalt.

The shovel is aluminum unless you count white rust (near ocean) it doesn't rust. Mine looks as good as the day I bought it. Sits outside next to the steps all winter, then an unheated shed the rest of the year. The only piece that is steel is the handle.

Gotcha. I'll buy that lol cuz I need a shovel. The Snow Plow 36" is very nice but it's only for pushing for the most part
