1197 Snow Shovel – Dozer Poly Blade with D‑Handle

Product Overview

The 1197 Snow Shovel – Dozer Style Poly with D‑Handle is a practical, heavy‑duty winter tool designed for efficient push‑style snow removal with improved comfort and control. Featuring a wide poly dozer blade and an ergonomic D‑handle, this shovel is ideal for clearing driveways, sidewalks, patios, and walkways quickly while reducing strain on the back and shoulders.

Built for cold‑weather performance, the poly blade resists cracking and chipping in freezing temperatures, while the dozer design allows users to push snow forward instead of lifting, making it especially effective for moderate to heavy snowfall. The D‑handle provides a secure, comfortable grip that enhances leverage and maneuverability during extended use.

Performance & Durability

Engineered for winter conditions, the poly blade maintains flexibility and strength in freezing temperatures, helping prevent breakage during heavy use. The wide dozer profile moves large volumes of snow in fewer passes, improving productivity during storms and after overnight accumulation. The reinforced handle connection supports consistent performance throughout the season.
