Is this good for digging a car out of the snow?

It will be adequate for most situations. Although it might take awhile as it is better suited for snowmobiling. If you have extra space I would highly recommend the snow dominator.

Should work for that as long as you are not trying to shovel ice or hard pack snow. I use mine for backpacking. I keep a regular flat bladed shovel from home depot in my truck.

This Garant shovel is tough and heavy, not for wet snow unless you are a body builder. The blade does not bend or wear easily but of course the corners of the blade can bend, but can be easily straightened. We use this shovel for the driveway on the lighter fluffy snow and an ergonomic shovel for the wet heavy stuff.

I don't believe this would be the best tool for you, it is built mainly for snow...the scraper is not that strong or that sharp, it works great but I would not use it on ice! I would get a shovel designed for that. From Tom in Minnesota!

I don't think studded tires would be good for it. As for snow it would depend on how much was on it and how close to the edges.

I don't know. The bucket I purchased is designed for rock, dirt, etc. It also can move heavy objects in the 250 pound range well. They, Swisher, sell a snow plow attachment for that purpose.

It's a plow, not a shovel so don't expect to scoop any snow with it...Its very light-maybe 10-15 pounds or so. Easy to change direction. I use it on my cement driveway with no trouble.

I bought it as an emergency shovel to keep in the car in case I get stuck in snow. I can use it to dig out around the wheels if necessary. I haven't had to use it yet but I believe that it will serve that purpose. I would not recommend it as a regular snow shovel for sidewalks and such. It is too small for that kind of shoveling.

We've used this for pulling vehicles out of the sand at the beach. It should be ok in snow as well.

I've used it through 2 winters and at times it was buried under snow. No problems.

it is extremely sturdy. the shovel itself is plastic and the handle is metal. and there's a metal cutting edge. say goodbye to back pain as there is no lifting. just glide it over the snow bank and pull it back swiftly. what used to take me an hour and a half with a shovel is now about 20 minutes. best money I ever spent.

My opinion is that it is too small and too straight to get a car out of the snow. It would be very frustrating. But it is better than nothing and takes up very little space in the car.

I use it for a double car drive and 60 feet of sidewalk. It is easy to move around and to shift and the wheels on the back assist with that. It does a good job in light snow but is not as good if the snow is wet and more than a couple of inches deep.

This is handy for light garden work. If you load it to where you need to pull it with a ATV or tractor, it's probityover loaded and result in damaging the wagon.

I have used my Makita blower several times to blow light, fluffy snow off of my driveway, deck and car. It works quite well on snow up to maybe an inch and a half. You can blow deeper snow but it just blows a narrow swath and takes quite a while to do a large area.

As long as you leave a little layer of snow so that the shovel does not get all scratched up on the bottom, I would think that it would work on gravel.

Yes! Here in Vermont we get some serious snow storms. I used this brush to remove snow off of our vehicles and it seemed to work quite well and in that its soft and safe for car-finishes, it fit the job requirement perfectly.It's a year round auto brush for us.

I like this concept for light snow,I have a 70'x40' drive and it does the job on 1" to 2" fluffy snow. The shovel is a little light as its a plastic like material,I have an older one with a heavier metal blade and works better. It doe work though and recommend it.
