Snow Shovel Adfaptation

[asemery]

I added a loop of cotton clothesline to my snow shovel. I used a constrictor knot near the blade and made the loop so it reaches to the handle. It makes shovelling SO much easier. You don't have to bend to grab the handle to toss a bladeful of snow. You can adjust the position of the lower knot along the wooden shaft and change the size of the loop to suit yourself. It made the clearing of the recent humungus snowfall much quicker and with less strain on the back. Try it!!!

Don't quite get it - the rope goes over your shoulder, yes?

No. Either hand holds the black handle and the other grabs the loop. You do not have to bend over to grasp the shaft and this make shovelling easier on your back
