I just want to thank Garant Canada, for stepping up and making good snow removal equipment, under the Garant: "Nordic series" brand. (plus others) There may be a USA MFG. product somewhere.....but I haven't seen one. Not only are these products good, but it saves me from being forced to buy cheapo China junk. http://www.garant.comBetween, Axiom, Garant, and the "Trailer Park Boys"........I'm very pleased with our northern neighbor's exports!

That was something I never thought about. I can't remember ever seeing anything other than Garant snow shovels in stores. I could also just be ignoring the others as I have found garant products to be very good.

Yardworks has their own shovels too, no idea where they're made though.
People shouldn't assume that offshore merchandise is less expensive, either, sometimes checking the manufacturing label will surprise us.
WooHoo!! I just checked my Yardworks shovel...says Made in Toronto!
Uhhh...there isn't a Toronto in Asia by any chance, is there?

I doubt it - but there's probably at least one Springfield in Asia

There's a market for snow shovels in Canada? I thought everyone up there had a ski-doo and a snowblower.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Eating backbacon and drinking Moosehead, eh? Another incorrect stereotype. You would finish the beer FIRST......THEN, eat the back bacon! Sheesh!

Adding insurance is no problem.... The shipping company would be responsible once it left my hands! Did you want some too?
