Shoveling snow is no fun and is a tedious chore that most of us would rather not have to do. Here’s a viral hack that makes shoveling snow less difficult and will help you get it done faster without injury to yourself.

L. Kanavaros is a man from western Massachusetts who created a YouTube video showing off the clever snow shoveling hack that he created.

Kanavaros begins by tying a sturdy rope to the handle of his snow shovel. He ties it right under the handle and has it end just above the base. Make sure that when you do this, the rope is a bit loose so that it will provide more give, which will make shoveling easier since you have more slack.

This hack effectively turns your shovel into a pulley system, as it helps to spread out the weight of the snow, so it’s not so hard on your back. Adding the rope gives you a second grip, which makes the snow shovel that much easier to use.

Video of the hack has quickly gone viral, being viewed over two million times! Social media users all over the country have hailed the hack, saying that it really does work. The next time it snows in your neighborhood, try this hack out and let us know how it goes!
