Looking for a really badass snow shovel

Hello all,

I'm looking to buy the most expensive, badass snow shovel made in New England. Any tips?

If you look at it and think, "THIS IS NOT YOUR MAMA'S SNOW SHOVEL" then you're probably on the right track.

I've heard that many commercial shovellers use these: http://www.cleaningsolutions4u.com/

Personally, I don't trust shovels with critical components made of plastic or aluminum. My shovel has a steel blade and a wooden handle, and it's in such good shape after three seasons that the neighbors still ask to borrow it (even though they have their own, inferior, shovels).

I love that style of shovel for light, fluffy snow. You can push it along. That style sucks royally for lifting snow of any weight, though, because it easily tips off balance. Need a standard shovel for that.
