The better shovel, and lower back discomfort, Dr Blatstein
The Problem
Most items in this space are not ergonomically built as to be back friendly. Therefore, whether you are a baby boomer (an ever growing part of our exploding population), or a younger demographic- protecting your back sooner or later will become a very conscious effort.
The Solution
Solving the problem:
1- The main shaft is ergonomically curved, and has several telescoping joints allowing it to collapse by up to 2/3 of its length. The curved main shaft aids in reducing pressure on your back.
2- A handle that can pivot from either 2-3 positions also aids in reducing pressure on your back.
3- Attachments are available for either ‘winter’ or ‘spring-summer-fall’, all attaching to the same Main Shaft.
a) Winter: Ice scraper seeds into the shovel for easy removal, The brush portion is stored within the shaft’s hollow tubing, where it can be swiveled out for use & then left out for the season or retracted back into the main Shaft.
b) Spring-summer-fall: Options for Camping/Gardening/and the beach, includes a shovel (as seen in pics), along with appropriate attachments.
* All attachments are made to be easily clipped in. Removal when required is also an easy task.
* All materials are to be strong but light in weight.
