Abstract
A shovel device designed for pulling along a surface to remove accumulated snow. The preferred device includes a substantially vertical blade having a curved surface, a pair of wheels, and a handle. The blade further includes an attachment collar, one on each surface of the blade. The handle is releasably attached to the blade through one of the two attachment collars to allow either pushing or pulling the blade through, e.g., a snow pile. The wheels, which may pivot about a vertical axis, are mounted to the convex surface of the vertical blade, via a bracket or other suitable connector, to facilitate movement of the device along a surface.
