I bought the set in 2011. The small blade is still alive. the Greater Snow shovel is I have better than the present (from the hardware store, because the slide has divided the aluminum edging (by 2 intense winters). Then from the edge fell completely and I was able to shovel a whole winter so until now the whole has warped due to stress. rust has added to the bracket and the screws of the framework has yielded. I will buy again when the construction market slide gives the spoon.
