The EZ Glide Edge’s wide bottom edge allows you to glide over uneven surfaces without those bone jarring stops. The EZ Glide Edge is too wide to fall into concrete seams. When you clear snow from broken concrete, aggregate, pavers, gravel or stepping stones, simply lower your hands so you’re riding on the back edge of the EZ Glide Edge. This lifts the front of the EZ Glide Edge so it will not catch.

When you lift your hands and ride on the front of the EZ Glide Edge, this angles the edge down so you can scrape extremely well. It will cut through hard packed snow and light ice. It will chop through thicker ice but it will wear the edge down faster. For thicker ice, there are better tools; like our Ice Breaker!

The EZ Glide Edge is not made from steel. It is made from a composite designed for impact resistance and long wear; HDPE. It will allow you to clear snow from wood or TREX composite decks, aggregate, pavers, slate, marble or metal or composite roofs without scratching or gouging the surface.

Will the EZ Glide Edge wear down? Yes. You should expect 200-250 shoveling hours before needing to replace it. Of course, this depends on the surfaces you clear. More abrasive surfaces, like aggregate, will reduce the useful life of your EZ Glide Edge.     

In very light snow falls they both are extremely effective. Where MANPLOW’s have the advantage is when the snow fall is over one inch deep. The EZ Glide Edge will not bog down in deep snow like wheels do. You can effectively clear random snow drifts without having to grab another snow shovel and you are not subject to a predetermined left or right angle. MANPLOW’s are designed so the blades can be angled either left or right so snow can cascade in the direction you want. Check out our video and see exactly how the EZ Glide Edge performs.
