It's an ice chopper. It chops...ice.
+1, works just like a ice scraper for a car windshield, but for driveways and walkways
or he has an old school snow shovel made of heavy steel.

Run it along the driveway surface and it will pop up/ loosen ice/ packed snow. Once you have everything loosened, then you can use a shovel to clear the driveway down to bare pavement. Cuts down on salt usage a lot
For example, a major ice storm coats your driveway with 1” thick frozen solid ice. I take a single bag of salt and spread it around, and give it 3-4 hours to work . The salt helps free the ice from the pavement . I then run the ice scraper along the pavement, the ice just pops up in big sheets with little effort. I then shovel the loose ice off the driveway and have bare pavement left
Otherwise I would be using 4-5 bags of salt to turn all the ice to slush so I can shovel it off
Yep. A flat edged spade can work as well.SizzleChest wrote: ↑ Wouldn't a flat mouth shovel serve the same purpose?
