The backsaver tool is helpful and much easier on the back but it has several limitations:

1. The tool sits up too high from handle. It becomes a little unwieldy when you want to move a shovel around and dump load you dug up.

2. The tool would be better if there was an easier and quicker way to move it up and down the handle depending on what you want to do with it.

3. Also the tool would be better if it was easier to move around the handle. When I am using a shovel, sometimes I need to turn it over when I am double digging a garden plot. If the handle could move around it would be more user friendly.

I've used this on my shovel and pitch fork at home and it is excellent. Then I tried in on a rake and it was even better. I can put as much force as I need on the head of the rake without bending over. Raking used to kill my back, but this Back Saver lives up to its name. My wife loves it too.

Installs kind of easily but works great. I used it to shovel in the notheast and you really don't need to bend over. Fantastic product!

I got a snow shovel last year that had something similar (and with swivels) built in. The swivels broke.

This product, has no swivels. It just screws on - but that's the beauty of the thing. It screws on to ANYTHING - rake, shovel, snow shovel, push broom if you want! With its simple (but effective) UI there's few bits to mess up, so you simply have a strong, useful add-on to most any tool about the house!
