Will you need to use a shovel to finish the job?

You would need a shovel to remove a thin layer of snow which would be left behind and could turn to ice. The shovel has been awesome for us and is well worth the money. It is more versatile than a full size snow blower.

Not always, depends on snowfall. Most times only a vroom Not always, most times onkr a broom, depends on snow fall and if ice is a factor. Unit does a good job.

Right now I'm contemplating that very thing... and a small shovel is my best guess other than picking it up and shaking it out. If I had it to do over I'd get something else on a stand with a hand crank to tumble it. Dave

I have not yet used it though completed assembly. I never expected not to have to do some raking, however. My sense tells me it will depend a lot on the condition of the lawn just how much could be accumulated in piles during use. I also intend to cross rake. Lawn is 20 years with mowing w/o catcher. Purchased mainly to remove treated moss of which there is a bunch.

Pretty close to that! This is more of a push shovel rather than scooping! It does a great job!

No. This shovel is not designed for large tasks such as that. It is suited more for small campsite tasks such as digging out a firepit, creating a small latrine, or digging a solar still. If you are worried about getting stuck and need a good shovel, I suggest investing in a good snow shovel. I have this shovel and live in WI where getting stuck in the snow is a definite possibility. I would not even think of trying to use this small shovel for that task. Hope this helps in your decision!

Yes. It depends on grit. If you want it really rough, you may need a different approach.

Pretty well, if you have a really deep root you will need either a longer blade or shovel, but for 6-8 inches it works great!

Too many variables to really answer, but I believe it is preferable to a shovel, depending on the type holes being dug.

It will work for digging snow. However, a snow shovel with its much larger blade is much more efficient.

You have to keep in mind that this is a pusher shovel. Not a scoop that you lift with. I recommend you use this shovel with a snow blower. Push the hard-to-get snow to a pile where you can blow it to wherever you want. But don't push snow and lift it. You'll have back problems.

No i had to order that separately. The bits look terrible as far as the quality but they work very well. I would definitely buy the shovel bit for clay or hard dirt. Works great. Also worked pretty good in semi frozen ground last winter when digging up my frozen septic line. you'll be happy with purchase.

Hi: I love my little Toro Power Shovel, but I would hesitate using it on a gravel driveway and this is why: When I use it, I tend to set it on the ground and push it back and forth, just like a vacuum, and it "vacuums" the snow off of the ground. Because it is resting on the ground, it makes the job much less strenuous. But, in your case, I would guess that it would also "vacuum" the gravel along with the snow. To try and hold it up one inch off of the ground would, I think, be quite tiresome. It isn't terribly heavy, but you would quickly get winded by holding it up and shoveling with it. It think that this would even be harder than using a snow shovel, thereby defeating the whole purpose of having a machine. Sorry, but I don't think it is a good tool for your application.

I don't have the shovel head but if you look at the shaft there should be a flat place that will allow it to be locked in. Hope this helps.

I have used this type of digging bar for years. It is very useful but, to really work well, it needs to be raised and slammed into the ground repeatedly. This woman may be able to use it for a short time, but it can be pretty strenuous if you have a lot of dirt to dig up. Gloves are definitely recommended.

Yes, but you will have to break down the mop and make it a hand tool. Hope that helps :)

No but be careful not to push down and dig in. Throwing stones can be a hazard with any snow blower.

Yes, you can do it by hand. You'll need strength, though; so, if you're not strong, get someone who is. It's very nice.
