The notch shovel is made to help cut through roots and obstructions while digging. A pointed shovel tends to deflect off to the side of a root instead of staying on target. He’s saying that it may be useful for winter. It’s not a snow shovel by design.
Fair enough. I don’t see that in the posts that I saw but perhaps that is buried in the threads comments which I didn’t read.
Still not the design that I’d use as your gonna give yourself a lot of jarring shocks and that way versus using more appropriate tools but if all you got is a shovel and you don’t have the clearance to swing it or the time to slice then sure.... still think the name is rather absurd and gimmicky.
