"please notice my back." mr. steal-yo-girl over here.

I can see this as a world wide movement to shovel like this, it's like a style of dance that just catches on.

Recently, heavy rain disasters have occurred in various places in Japan. It is difficult to remove mud after flooding but your videos are helping people in disaster areas in Japan. Thank you very much!

Always wanted to be taught how to shovel snow by Sylvester Stallone

I am literally sitting here icing my back after shoveling snow 7 inches deep for the past 90 minutes. This is genius, I feel like an idiot.

I used a metal hose clamp to fasten a length of rope to the plastic handle of my shovel for a very tight connection - tied the other end to the handle - works great! Thank you for sharing, sir.

Thank you for this simple, brilliant idea! My favorite film instructor from college - and good friend of mine - died of a heart attack last winter while shoveling his sidewalk. This happens more often than most people realize, so it's very important to be careful while shoveling snow. I'll be attaching a length of rope to each of my shovels this evening, thanks to you and in honor of my friend. Shovel with care, folks!

Thanks for this video! I just sent it to my boyfriend who was recently stationed on an Icebreaker in Michigan upper peninsula. He is renting a small place there and just had his first experience with his truck being buried in snow!! We are used to tropical weather- so this is shocking! I love how you can just swing throw without twisting and bending all over the place.

Wow after all of these years of trying different types of shovels, I will definitely be using this tomorrow as we are expected to get a foot of snow in the Midwest. Thank you for share, big help.

Patent pending? I no longer live where it snows, but this looks like a marvelous idea! Kudos for your sharing this bit of ingenuity. 👍🏻

I’m starting to shovel the driveways and sidewalks for my neighbors and this seems very helpful thank you :) now I can get paid and not have my back hurting. Two in one !!

Appreciate this, Sir! Currently psyching myself up to go shovel my Canadian driveway right now. Just finished my coffee, guess it's time to go.

Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial. I just came from shoveling out my business' parking lot and I feel GREAT from not having to bend so much! It only took me a couple of minutes to assemble and troubleshoot this "hack" for optimization. It's cheap. It's easy. It's amazing. Thanks again!

I just came in from giving this a very extensive test. I thank-you and my back thanks you, as I have a lot of shoveling, here and varying heights of snowbanks to fling it up over (4-5ft. high) I may never shovel any other way. In fact I also clean horse paddocks and may give it a try with the manure fork, too. BRILLIANT. I'm sharing with my friends and family. Thanks again.

CLOSING IN ON 2.5 MILLION VIEWS !!! THANK YOU ALL, FOR WATCHING !!! ...please subscribe if you haven't yet....more hacks to follow. THAAAANKS !!!

I’m about to rig up my own. Thank you sir great video

I love it! Simple, useful, practical, hilarious, and a joy to watch. Thanks Lou!

I tried this and it works really well. Thank you

Thank you! I had other plans for the rope and shovel in my trunk, but it just started snowing here and as a tall man, I do suffer from back issues. 😁

My husband said you are very ingenious! I think so too!

funny how i find this video after shoveling my driveway...

Thank you for taking the time to post this simple video. I gave it a try today. It worked great. You've saved me from a lot of pain. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the tip! Definitely will try it tomorrow we have a winter storm advisory.

What's it called? "Knots on your shovel--NOT in your BACK"

Thank You!!! Right handed with right rotator cuff tear, torn biceps tendon and severe spinal stenosis. This allows me to use the left arm to lift and take the stress off the back. The cost is another high point! Thanks for sharing this great idea!

He still likes the comments after 6 years what a good guy lol

Thank you for posting this. I just shoveled using your rope mod, and it works well.

On behalf of your cousin George Roumanis: "Louie, you put all inventors to shame with your simple and excellent idea."

My husband says you should patent this idea! He thinks it might be good and work well. He has shoveled a lot of snow in his life. Thankyou and Take Care.

Wow man, you helped me a lot. Best regards from Russia)

I found out today while shoveling why it’s bad to twist your back . They always taught us that in the warehouse

Some of the most genius ideas are the simplest. I'm gonna go tie ropes to a lot of shit in the garage.

Thank you so much, sir. This needs to be put into a safety video. I just got some paracord for Christmas and I know exactly what I'm gonna use some of it for.

You Sir are a genius!

To help my back, as soon as I finish shoveling I just go and lie down on a snow bank for 1-2 mins. The cold of the snow really helps your back recover.

Thank you. this rope really work good. Saves my back and I don't have to take so many breaks.

Great idea, thanks a lot for making this video!

greatly useful, simplest idea ever, thanks

pretty convenient and safe, thank you for the great tip.

Thanks for generously sharing your wisdom! I look forward to adding a rope to my shovel...the snow keeps dumping here. Boom!

Thanks for the great tip! I still have parts of my driveway to do and will give this a shot. Thanks!

If you put car wax on the shovel, the snow slides off a lot easier and doesn’t get stuck on.

I live in Alaska and we have had some weird as hell weather recently, the snow has been melting and freezing then snowing, partially melting then freezing and we have finally gotten some good snow that isn't part ice, this seems like an amazing idea and I'll have to use it soon.

Very clever idea! Thanks for sharing.

This video appears in my feed hours after I finish shoveling a 100' driveway with a regular shovel because my blower is broken. It is like KZfaq knows what I did and is now mocking me.

Thanks for sharing. This will definitely help me a great deal as I am 68 and live in Canada where it snows quite a bit. Best regards.

Thank you for making this video! I look forward to trying this tip. Thanks for sharing your idea!

I really needed to see this today ! what a genius idea! thank you very much, very useful,for MA snowstorms

Damn, thanks gramps. You sir just saved me years of pain. ❤

Excellent innovation! Thank you for sharing!

Great idea! Thanks for posting.

Great idea ! I sent it on to a couuple of other people. I live in Eugene, and one of the people I sent it to lives in Sweet Home OR.

One GREAT and simple idea!

this guy gets it.

this is great. Thank you, shared this with my father :)

Two other tips for sore shovelers out there: 1) tie a knot in the rope just above the point where you're grabbing it, that will keep your hand from sliding up -- and you might want to tie a knot where you actually grab it to give yourself a better grip, in addition to the knot above where you'll grab the rope. 1a) You might get better control and grip by using webbing -- the material that dog leashes and tie-downs are made from -- but not the thick type material which will be harder to knot and tie onto your shovel. 2) spray your shovel liberally, front and back with WD40. Snow slides off. Another person below said to heat the shovel and apply wax, but no heat needed with WD40! And you can quickly reapply too. And -- if you're also using a snowblower/thrower (single or two stage, it matters not), spray the inside of the housing, all sides of the auger, and the inside of the exit chute, and if you have a two-stage, spray the impeller and the inside of the exit chute. This really keeps the snow from sticking -- especially that wet heavy snow that sticks!

Thank you for demonstrating all three. This is good stuff!! Save me some serious coin.

Excellent idea :) proud to see this!....keep up the inventions!!!

Thanks for sharing. I will give it a try this winter.

I love this guy

Great idea thanks for sharing

Thanks for the: " Back free technology".......still works in 2022.

Very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for caring & sharing we dont have snow in the Caribbean but i shall certainly try this method transferring the heap of garden soil into my wheelbarrow & into the garden

Genius! Thank you sir

Good idea. I recommended your video in my snow shoveling video.

THANK YOU! God bless you.

Thank you!

I really wish I had seen this before shoveling my driveway three times yesterday. My back is definitely sore today. I'll try this next time!

Thanks for uploading this interesting little tip! We'll be sure to try this out soon. :)

I was going to buy one of those shovels with an extra handle, glad I saw this!

Ha! Western mass! I live near the Boston area. Lucky the first video I clicked was practically a neighbor :)

Wow thanks, great idea!

Wow thats pretty awesome. I just made one and with a couple tweaks it worked great even though all I had on had was a cheap cotton clothesline. Not only does it help reduce lower back pain but I feels like I can toss the snow a bit further.

Thank you for sharing! about a week too late for me but I won't be in pain for next snow storm.

Wow thank you for this video!!! I have a sore back every time I shovel.....

Great Idea. Will use it at work also. So simple why didn’t the shovel folks think of this.
