BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Shoveling just got easier, allowing users to enjoy legendary performance and tackle through light- to mid-duty snow removal tasks with ultimate power, control, reliability and ease of use. Toro's renowned snow blower line includes a battery-powered newcomer — the Toro® 60V* Flex-Force® Power Shovel — which provides legendary snow-clearing performance, allowing you to conquer the cold winter months and power through your property with battery-powered ease.

The 60V Power Shovel is ideal for clearing every corner of decks, patios, sidewalks and driveways that hold up to four parked cars. With remarkable power packed into a nimble and compact package, the 60V Power Shovel can easily clear up to six inches of snow in a single pass and offers a 12-inch clearing width. This powerful machine can also shred through snow and throw it up to 25 feet, due to the Power Shovel's innovative Power Curve® technology. 

Exclusive to the Power Shovel, you have more power when you want it and control when you need it with Toro's two-speed option, allowing you to adjust your speed preferences for the job. The Power Shovel includes a Flex-Force 2.5ah 60V Battery System, allowing you to use the same battery across all seasons in other 60V tools such as the leaf blower, trimmer, etc. The Flex-Force Power System ensures a runtime of up to 45 minutes on a single charge and a 60-minute recharge time. 

And you can rest easy knowing that you'll enjoy years of reliable use, increased power and longer runtime due to the brushless DC motor on the Power Shovel. The design of the Power Shovel is one that represents ultimate ease and comfort. These machines are easy to maneuver, cordless and convenient. The sleek, compact design on the Power Shovel allows you to easily store it for quick use, with a minimal footprint in your garage or shed. 

"We wanted to give our customers a battery-powered snow removal option that's compact and easy to handle, yet powerful enough to get the job done," said Christina Howell, marketing manager at Toro. "We believe we've developed a tool that meets all the snow removal needs for customers, and it’s also a great supplemental tool for larger areas such as steps, decks, patios, etc. This tool truly allows customers to clear every corner of their property with precision and ease. This important balance of simplicity and power in the introduction of the 60V Flex-Force Power Shovel is a win-win for users looking for high performance packed into a compact, easy-to-use machine.”

You can also enjoy year-round performance with additional 60V equipment from Toro's Flex-Force Power System family, including a leaf blower, string trimmer, a Toro Recycler® mower, and more. The Flex-Force system provides maximum runtime and power to the entire suite of Toro 60V products thanks to cutting-edge Lithium-Ion battery technology. The system is backed by an industry-leading three-year full warranty on the 60V Power Shovel and a three-year full warranty on the battery assemblies.
