Made in the USA with durable materials, it’s a must-have for professionals and homeowners seeking safer, more efficient yard work. ## Description The award-winning HEFT is the fastest and easiest to use secondary handle, attaching in less than one second to virtually any kind of shovel, rake, broom or similar handled tool making them more ergonomic and easy to use. Attaches in a Snap! Works with almost any shovel handle Makes shovels more ergonomic, reducing pain, fatigue and potential injury Attaches in less than one second Requires no tools for installation No moving parts Attaching The HEFT instantly converts an old and awkward shovel into an ergonomically correct powerhouse of efficiency, safety and comfort. When your work is done, simply disconnect The HEFT and hang it up. By attaching The HEFT to long shaft winter and garden tools like snow shovels, garden spades and rakes, the tool instantly becomes ergonomic due to the position of The HEFT, which results in a more upright position of the user. Ergonomic tools are proven to reduce pain and fatigue as well as lessen the chance of serious injury to the user. The HEFT has NO moving parts to pinch fingers; NO tools required for attachment; NO nuts, bolts, washers or screws to lose and it's fast. The HEFT takes up very little room and can easily be hung up in the garage along with other tools, making it one of the most versatile products available. Review: Definitely minimizes stooping over & allows greater control - I just used in on @ 6" of snow instead of paying the plow guy $40. The grip part was loose around the shovel pole but that is much preferred to it being too small (in which case would not work for that shovel). To keep it from moving around the shovel pole in a circular motion or up & down the shovel pole, I marked with nail polish where I liked it positioned & used electrical tape around the shovel pole to make a tighter grip. Definitely minimizes stooping over & allows greater control so you don't dump snow while you are still over the sidewalk. It may not hold up for a strong guy who muscle throws heavy shovel fulls of snow, but if you have that much, you would probably use the snow blower anyway. I think I will prefer this stiff/solid secondary handle to the flexible steel strip type second handle of the Snow Joe Shovelution. I got one of those too but haven't used it yet. Review: Back saving shovel attachment - As someone who has had 3 back surgeries I'm very paranoid about "break braking labour". We got 20 cubic yards of wood chips to spread around our house and I new shoveling all that was going to be a problem. The HEFT PLUS to the rescue. This shovel attachment has been great. I had a very old long wood handle shovel. It has overall been great and saved my back although I had do some easy modification. For grip the HEFT Plus has rubber pads where you attach it to the shovel. These sheered off after about 30 minutes most likely due to the diameter of the shovel handle I was using which was bigger then they were designed for. I ended up just wrapping the shovel handle in good duct tape and that with the rubber pads removed fit my shovel perfectly and kept the HEFT Plus from slipping. I would highly recommend this to anyone back problems or now. ## Features - ✔ REDUCES BACK STRAIN & LIFTING FORCE – The HEFT Secondary Back Saver Handle shifts your grip lower on the tool shaft, reducing leverage stress on your lower back when shoveling, digging, raking, or sweeping.

I tried to use it on a snow shovel but did not fir. **Q: Looking for prohandle universal handle attachment model # 11189 can you help locate thi item** A: I bought mine from Amazon. Was very helpful for snow shoveling. Can't wait to try it out in the garden! **Q: In the package of 2 are they both the same larger size?** A: Yes they were both the same size I can not recommend these as the foam gripper material which is supposed to keep the handle from rotating around the shovel handle peals off in use and will not hold it in place so you are constantly trying to lift at an odd angle to the shovel. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely minimizes stooping over & allows greater control *by B***Y on January 16, 2018* I just used in on @ 6" of snow instead of paying the plow guy $40.

When it’s secured it works really well , your back will appreciate it and it enables you to lift a substantial load ( in my case snow ) without straining your back . I did not think it would make such a difference but after using a similar product when shovelling a neighbours walk ( used theirs when they were away) I was sold on the beauty of the two handle shovel. As long as you are willing to secure it I think it’s a great addition to any shovel. ## Frequently Bought Together - The HEFT Plus Secondary Back Saver Handle for Snow Shovels and Garden Tools as seen on Dragon's Den (Canada Shark Tank) (1 ct, Standard) - Universal Shovel Handle, Strain-Reducing Elasticity Snow Shovel Handle Ergonomic Back Saver Attachment for Snow Shovels, Rakes, Weed Eater,String Trimmer, Gardening Tools - Back-Saving Tool Handle Attachment, EVR-Grip Upgrade, Labor-Saving Ergonomic Shovel Add-on Handle, RED --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/45695948-the-heft-plus-secondary-back-saver-handle-for-snow-shovels](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/45695948-the-heft-plus-secondary-back-saver-handle-for-snow-shovels) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
