A device added to conventional snow shovel/scrapers in the form of an extra handle which will be adjustable in height and length, allowing it to be adjusted to fit the individual user's personal comfort zone. The invention will consist of a ball and socket type swivel joint placed on the lower of the original shovel/scraper handle. The invention will be fastened by means of nuts and bolts to the original shaft of the shovel/scraper handle between the shovel/scraper blade and the midway point up the original handle in a position comfortable to the individual operating the snow shovel/ scraper. The ball portion of the ball and socket joint will have a shaft approximately 12" long attached to it, with holes approximately 1" apart at the end opposite the ball, allowing a D-shaped handle grip to be attached by means of nuts and bolts to the shaft at a desired position. This invention will have a friction type securing device fastened by nuts and bolts approximately 8" up from the point where the ball and socket joint are fastened to the original handle. This friction type holding device will be used to secure the new shovel/scraper handle to that of the original shovel/scraper handle with the D-shaped handle grips of both handles facing the same direction. The securing of the new handle in this position will allow the shovel/ scraper to be stored easily when not in use. The shovel/scraper will be operated by placing one hand on the original D-shaped hand grip and the other hand on the D-shaped hand grip of the new shovel/scraper handle, then pushing it into the snow and lifting on the new handle and then throwing the snow out of the way. This additional swivel handle transfers most the muscle power required to shovel snow from the back to the arm holding the new swivel handle.
