I love handling dog feces just as much as the next guy, but it’s the smell I can’t stand. Using my hands, the smell gets a little to close to my nostrils for comfort. The Shoe Shovel eliminates any hand-to-dog-feces contact, leaving you, if all works out, relatively scentless.

I know, I know, there’s nothing quite as fulfilling as holding a warm lump of dog shit in your plastic covered hand, but trust me, this will save you some work. Check out the video demonstration, complete with chocolate fecal models, after the jump.

When we were kids we used to love when it snowed. We’d get a day off of school and get a full day of building forts and throwing ice balls at unsuspecting victims. But then we grew up, and realized we were not only expected to go to work on snowy days, but to also shovel the snow instead of playing in it.

The Pedal-Powered Snowplow is pretty much a shovel added on to a pedal-powered vehicle. Not only does it look a hell of a lot more fun and easy than shoveling, but saves the plow trucks from wasting more exhaust on your driveway.  — Andrew Dobrow
