Snow shovel Fiskars 1057178 Metal Black Orange Blade length 54.3 cm

The Fiskars 1057178 Metal snow shovel combines a robust metal blade with a long handle to provide effective snow clearing for domestic and light commercial use. The blade measures 54.3 cm, giving a broad working width that reduces the number of passes required. At 1530 mm total length and a weight of approximately 1.57 kg, the tool is balanced for pushing and lifting snow while remaining manageable for extended use. The black and orange finish improves visibility in winter conditions and reflects the Fiskars design language.

Advantages

The metal blade offers durability and edge retention suitable for compacted or slightly icy snow, while the blade width accelerates clearing large surfaces. The overall length provides ergonomic reach, which helps minimise bending and strain. The relatively lightweight construction supports manoeuvrability and reduces user fatigue during repeated lifts. The high-contrast colour scheme supports easy identification and safer use in low-light environments.

Suitable for

• Clearing driveways and sidewalks
• Removing snow from patios and steps
• Light-duty snow removal around residential properties
• Maintaining access routes in small commercial or municipal areas

Key specifications

How to use

Hold the shovel with one hand near the top of the handle and the other hand closer to the blade for control. Use a pushing motion to clear loose snow and a lifting motion to remove accumulated snow, keeping the back straight and bending at the knees when lifting heavier loads. For icy or compacted layers, use the blade edge to score and break the surface before removing the fragments. Store the shovel in a dry place after use to prevent corrosion and inspect the blade edge periodically for wear.

Usage recommendations

For best results on large areas, combine sweeping pushes with occasional lifts to prevent overloading the blade. Avoid using the metal shovel on delicate surfaces such as soft decking or finished concrete without testing a small area first. Regularly clear built-up ice to maintain edge performance and prolong the service life of the tool.
