I've seen 2 reviews say it was heavy. The shipping weight says 2 Lbs. Is it more than that or are people complaining about a 2lb shovel?

It's two pounds anyway, and if you've hiked any distance with a 50+ pound backpack then you know that weight is everything. Items like this add up, I really like to have a shovel around while camping but if this one gets to heavy then maybe i'll leave it in the car next time. Only time will tell. The construction of this particular shovel is very good and I'll update my review if heavy use takes its toll on it. Good Luck.

The shaft of the shovel is made of tubular steel and the blade is steel plate. Dick's Sporting Goods also lists it at 2 lb. 2 oz.; it feels as though it is between 2 & 3 lb. Placed in a backpack with an assortment of other stuff, I suppose that some may consider it heavy, especially when hiking long distances and every ounce counts. And, compared to other similar shovels, I guess that it could be "heavy" but then, those others might not be as sturdy. For my use as an emergency tool in my car, it wouldn't matter to me if it were even heavier.

Mine weighs in at exactly 4 pounds 2 ounces. So, as long as you don't put more than 14 ounces of stuff into it - you're OK!

A couple pounds maybe. It's not all that heavy. Comparable to a normal E-tool I would imagine.

Tim, The shipping weight is 2 pounds so because it is a stainless steel sword I am guessing it is around 2-3 pounds. I am thinking of getting one myself but I first want to know how strong it is.

Well Glen that shipping weight is not correct the 2 1/2 is right on the money this a very heavy duty product.

It is heavier than I would like it to be. I thought it would be lighter when I ordered it. I was accustomed to my previous drill which was much lighter and the only one I'd owned. It's ok but overall I will be getting a different drill.

Well, it weighs 11 pounds or so, but I suspect that was not really what you were asking. I suspect that you want to know how hard it is to push when it's got snow in it. I can't answer that precisely, because I would need some sort of testing device to do that. And, of course, it depends upon how much snow you have in it. It is somewhat harder to push than a regular snow shovel, but I don't think it is overly difficult to push. Remember the old push lawn mowers? I would compare it to those, assuming your blades were reasonably sharp.

Tracey, It is a bit heavy but I can pick it up by the handles and move it myself. With two people it isn't a problem. I am a Prime member of Amazon so shipping was free. I am going to guess it weighs 90-100 lbs but don't quote me on that.

With the packaging it might way near 2 pounds but the gauge itself is light.It worked fine for me in cold weather. My mechanic uses them.

Mine weighs 2 pounds and 8 ounces. It is very solid, heavy, and worth the price.

According to the specs, it weighs 17LBS. I have a very large yard with fence bordering the back yard. I use mine every time after I mow and have no issues with it getting heavy.

I own one of these and have used it several times - It's a great pusher. You are asking the wrong question. With a push shovel you want it heavier because you need it to push the weighted snow along. You are not lifting snow with it so the weight doesn't matter. If you are concerned about weight, go down to home depot or Lowes and buy a cheap plastic one. I hope this helps you in your decision.

Very light. I agree with Derek, you gotta really push it into the blade when you receive the separate packages. I don't have much arm strength but used it as both a pusher and a shovel with no issues at all with 10 inches of snow for 20-30 minutes with a bad cold. I'd guess the entire shovel can't weigh more than 3 pounds. Well worth the money.

Mine is in the truck, but it is not even close to 5 pounds. I would say about 2. It feels light in your hand but has a lot of power for screws and drilling.

I havent weighed it but its pretty light weight for a B.O.B. I carry it around all the time. It might be the same weight as a framing hammer but no more than that. Its not noticeable at all.
