Shovel mix up

I don’t think I’ve ever actually meant a Garant snow shovel that I didn’t like — they make such good stuff! Which is probably why I mixed up the pictures of two shovels in my Hot Home Products column on Nov. 21. The pic above is of the new G4 shovel, which is widely available for about $37. In describing it, I said that it uses good old-fashioned physical energy to push and shovel snow, and scrape and clean sidewalks, adding that it will not — unfortunately —  do any of those tasks while you sit indoors with a toddy. I jokingly remarked that that’s what teenagers are for. My teenagers didn’t think it was funny. They’ll probably be laughing their heads off in January!!!!
