VOLTASK CSS008-170OR-CA-AZ15 Cordless Snow Shovel, 17-Inch, 48V

Clear snow from a driveway, sidewalk or patio with a cordless shovel that directs where the snow lands. The VOLTASK has a 17-inch clearing width and a directional plate that can send snow forward, to either side or at a chosen angle.

Its brushless motor runs on two 24V, 4.0 Ah batteries, and the package includes a dual charger. A stated throwing distance of up to 23 ft and clearing depth of 8 inches give you useful details for planning a clearing pass.

The ergonomic grip, adjustable handle and wheels are designed to make the work easier to manage as you move across outdoor surfaces.

Quick overview

This battery-powered snow shovel is suited to clearing paths and smaller areas around the home, including steps, decks, patios and driveways. Its 17-inch width helps cover ground in each pass, while the directional plate lets you guide snow away from the area you are clearing instead of repeatedly moving it by hand. The listed throwing distance is up to 23 ft.

The 48V system combines two 24V rechargeable batteries, with 4.0 Ah capacity each, and a dual charger is included. The manufacturer states up to 30 minutes of continuous operation. Buyers often praise its effectiveness, power and assembly, feedback is mixed on battery life, weight, stability and value. These perspectives can help set expectations for choosing a powered shovel over the repeated pushing and lifting of a traditional shovel.

On-body feel

An ergonomic grip and adjustable handle let you set up the shovel for a more comfortable working position. The wheels support movement along the clearing route, while the cordless design avoids managing a power cord as you work around a home. The product measures 148 x 44 x 46 centimetres and weighs 11.2 kg, useful details to consider when planning where to store it and how to move it between clearing areas.

How to use it

Position the directional plate to send snow forward, to either side or at an angle that suits the area. This makes it easier to direct cleared snow away from a walkway or toward a chosen side of a driveway. For larger areas, work through the space in passes, guiding the shovel along each section rather than lifting snow by hand.

To start the machine, press and hold the safety lock button while pulling the trigger. Once the motor is running, release the safety lock button and continue holding the trigger. The dual safety switch is part of the starting design. Charge the batteries in a warm, dry environment and avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures.

When it makes sense

Choose this format when you want powered snow clearing for outdoor areas around the home and value a cordless setup, guided snow direction and a 17-inch clearing path. It can suit a routine that includes sidewalks, steps, patios, decks or driveway sections, with the included batteries and dual charger ready for the battery-powered system.

A traditional shovel keeps the task fully manual, this VOLTASK instead uses a brushless motor and wheels to help move and throw snow. Its adjustable handle and directional plate make it a practical fit for people looking to clear defined paths and surfaces with more control over where the snow goes.
