Every snow morning starts the same way.
Out in the cold before work, bent over a shovel, lifting heavy snow one scoop at a time. By the time the driveway is clear, your back is done for the day.
A snowblower is overkill. A shovel is hard on your back.
Gas snowblowers are heavy and loud, and need fuel, oil and a pull-start. A plain shovel puts all the work on you. The Drift sits in between: battery power that throws the snow aside, light enough to carry up the steps.
