Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First time reviewer here. I am writing this review because I am extremely disappointed in this product. I bought it 2 weeks ago and needed to use it yesterday. It broke almost immediately. I have a lot of experience with snow moving having lived in the U.P. of Michigan for many years. I didn't miss-use the shovel. It looks like it should be sturdy, but it isn't. The aluminum handle and scoop look good, but there is a plastic piece on the end of the handle at the pivot point. The plastic piece broke when digging in loosely compacted, but not icy, snow.
