I have used it in about 8 inches of snow with no problem at all. It's a
Snowbear Flexblade so it's very light and easy to put on and take off. I have never hit anything with it and don't expect to since I'm only doing my Driveways and Freinds. It seems yours it much more HEAVY DUTY that the Flexblabe. Mine is meant for light duty i.e. your own driveway and not really made for Streets like yours is.
