Toro Power Shovel, 60-volt Cordless Snowblower

In this video, I unbox the 60-volt cordless Toro Power Shovel and show how it works in the snow. Save your back and actually have fun shoveling snow! This machine is lightweight, well-balanced, and really throws snow quickly and easily.

My first HandyDadTV video. I searched for a battery powered snow blower and this video was in the results. Well done review. I like that you share your mistakes and turn them into lessons to help your viewers. I make mistakes too, so I know your review is genuine.

[@handydadtv]

Ironic how another guy roasted me that I should have re-recorded it because it wasted his time. But I agree with you. Learn from my mistakes.

[@ericheckman2205]

That snow is a lot heavier than most places, I’m impressed! Thanks for helping me decide.

[@handydadtv]

Thanks. I will definitely be using it again this winter.

[@johnwood551]

That would be a great tool to carry in your vehicle whenever you go out in snowy conditions.

[@handydadtv]

Good idea

[@graceortiz9494]

A great reveiw. Toro has literally given every you tuber I watch equipment to watch. Everyone puts a different spin. At the end of the day its a shovel, snow blower, mower, and blower.

[@handydadtv]

Yeah I noticed a flurry of recent content on their new machines. KZbin is the best way to market new products.

[@mieannie9114]

Thank you, i thought my item is broke, then when i search about and see your video…now i figure it out

[@handydadtv]

Glad it was helpful!

[@adameglen3593]

I got the greenworks corded last year.No limits works great without shutting down. I don't understand why these people have to put limiters shutting down and shit!On mine I had to extend the pipe a little bit. One flaw on these machines is that they need to make the pipe adjustable. Not everyone is 5 foot tall. I am 6.2 and I see you hunch over too!!Put an extender on the pipe!

[@MsTonya417]

I plan on purchasing the Toro shovel mostly to clean hard to reach areas that my snowblower can’t get to. Thanks for the video Chris.

[@handydadtv]

My pleasure 👍🏻

[@Mike-hq7mn]

It seems like every lawn/ home improvement KZbin Channel got one of these for Christmas. The biggest complaint I'm hearing is that people feel its not long enough and they to hunch over a lot. Do you agree? As always great video.

[@dawnnflanagan3233]

It doesn't look like it

[@tucobenedicto109]

I had a toro electric power shovel when I was a kid it worked great, has it's limitations. But that's where the big toro one stage i got from a neighbor. Eventually it went it was two cycle. Not toros fault more our storage. Then a John Deere two stage.

[@handydadtv]

This lightweight shovel won’t handle 2-feet of snow like your Deere, but it’s good for my needs.

[@warriordugan7236]

Thanks Dad for the cool video. But the real question is why do you need to shovel the patio in the winter? I mean, it will melt in just a few days anyway. I live in New Jersey also and the recent snow (about 5") on my patio melted in just 3-4 days.

[@handydadtv]

You never know if it will melt or freeze for a month. My dogs need to get out to the grass and I like to use the grill in the winter.

[@elvaz2]

@@handydadtv It’s good to the patio because the weight of the snow and moisture when it starts to melt

[@handydadtv]

That too

[@83Nachojr]

Love you videos!

[@handydadtv]

Thank you 😊

[@Californification]

Thanks. I may have missed it in the video but how long does a fully drained battery take to charge? Is it okay to charge if it’s only half drained from use?

[@cpsmonroe1]

@45 min runtime and @hour to recharge on the 2.5, and yes you can charge lithium ion batteries without problems, even if half full.

[@flyingpigs2012]

Neat

[@handydadtv]

Yeah I like it

[@wmf1595]

Please post an addendum showing that it does, in fact, work as expected when the battery is fully inserted. If possible, test with the same depth and snow density (e. g., heavy snow). I can't really accept speculation as evidence.

[@handydadtv]

LOL I’ll place an order with Mother Nature. 🤣

[@sweaner]

@@handydadtv Please don't!

[@louisamurphy9949]

I noticed that you attached the handle just above the main handle connection. Is this more ergonomically correct than below the connection?

[@handydadtv]

Pretty sure I followed the instructions. I wouldn’t want it lower because it would be more bending.

[@vaunlopezaivlercorpuz9592]

[@jessalyn4672]

Have you tried the Snow Joe 13 in. 24-Volt Cordless Snow Shovel?

[@handydadtv]

I haven’t. Sorry.

[@rickslife]

The hardest part after getting one is waiting for the snow.

[@handydadtv]

The struggle is real! I once got a snow plow attachment for my lawn tractor to make a video and got NO snow that winter. I had to demonstrate it with leaves. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6Gri6ZpmdV4ic0

[@brandonbell6171]

NA

[@jonnyboat2]

Any idea how it works on a gravel driveway? Diggin your hat. What's the brand and where can I get one?

[@handydadtv]

My first house had a stone driveway and we lived with it for two NJ winters. We saved every penny to have it paved! Best improvement ever. No snowblower (or shovel for that matter) works well on gravel. That said, a lightweight handheld power shovel, like this, will be easy for you to hold above the stones to clear the majority of the snow. Just don’t point it at cars or windows.

[@ladytube64]

Good review...is this hard to put together?

[@handydadtv]

Not hard at all. It was separated into two pieces just so it would fit in a smaller box.

[@brandonbell6171]

No a crazy person can do it

[@Gerry-K]

Power Shovel are OK, till you hit a hard piece of ice or object. The the blade cracks.

[@handydadtv]

I haven’t had that issue. Thanks for the tip!

[@jodycojo8364]

What's the battery life ?

[@handydadtv]

I’ve never run out clearing my driveway.

[@jacksonvang2946]

Was the price on one of these ?

[@handydadtv]

letmegooglethat.com/?q=toro+cordless+power+shovel+price

its 109.00 the electric one

Yes, but the cheap one requires you to drag an extension cord from the house. The one I reviewed is cordless.

You’ll like it. I’ve been using it with this latest storm in New Jersey.

[@brandonbell6171]

Around 200 for gas

[@egastap]

Priced it out in Canada......ridiculous!! By the time you add the battery, it's almost $500. Never in a million years.

[@handydadtv]

Wow! It’s $349 list in the US.

[@brandonbell6171]

That's why don't buy it in Canada, cause its around 200,dollars

[@seichorn4079]

Im considering buying this. does it come with a charger?

[@handydadtv]

Optional. Since the batteries can be used in multiple tools, they typically allow you to choose if you want the complete kit with battery and charger, or if you want the tool only.

[@seichorn4079]

@@handydadtv thank you! is this tool still working for ya? its $300 with the charge, just want to see if its a good use of my money

[@handydadtv]

I love it. We didn’t get any snow this year but I know it’ll fire right up when I need it next year. No maintenance before storage, like gas engines.

Can you order spare batteries??

[@handydadtv]

Yes, in various sizes.

[@marcyounker6379]

How many hours on one battery ?

[@handydadtv]

I don’t know but I’m sure it depends on the depth and weight of the snow. I never used it completely; it does my driveway and patio on one charge.

[@ThinkSimply]

So was it cutting out after ?

[@handydadtv]

Nope. Just used it today for this huge Northeast storm and it worked perfectly.

[@ThinkSimply]

@@handydadtv nice, just got in from plowing all night my self. I'm going to give one of these to my guys and see how it does..buy a 2nd battery, and have 1 charging in the truck at all times.

Yes works great and can easily do my whole house on one charge.

My driveway is stones. Any recommendations for a way to clear it without shooting stones out in the street and yard?

[@handydadtv]

My first house had a stone driveway and we hated it. You can’t use a snowblower. Too dangerous. We saved our money and had it paved within a few years. It was such a great investment. Highly recommend.

So you don’t make the same mistake.

[@Mop222]

It looks awkward, I think the design would have been better if the battery was slotted lower, then the handle would be on the top, and much easier to push.

[@handydadtv]

It’s more about balance than purely pushing. The battery at the far end is a counterweight so you can lift with the handle.

[@ralphfraumeni6190]

I believe the handle can be installed up and down the shaft wherever it is most comfortable and balanced.

[@BostonPower]

It has a horribly placed handle. The snow Joes are a million times more comfortable and you don't break your back bent over

[@handydadtv]

Thanks I’ll check it out.

[@handydadtv]

So not true

[@katewerk]

@@handydadtv Do you think I came here on a whim? I'm a middle age Canadian woman who has shovelled more snow than she cares to admit, and was disappointed in the weight of the Toro. I found it slower, clumsier and more awkward than just grabbing the shovel.

Thanks for the context. I never lived in Canada and dealt with your snow. But it’s perfect for me in NJ. Much easier on my back.

Only works if your under 6 ft tall.

You’re right the handle is not adjustable.

[@bobburesh7185]

@@handydadtv I did like your content. Good information to know, thankyou.

[@garyglenn1445]

It's stopping because it can't handle the load you're putting on it. The battery is over amping and starts drawing too much amperage and is shutting off on safety.

[@handydadtv]

That’s not true. The battery wasn’t clicked in place. Once I figured that out, it worked fine.
