Hey Buzzard, I had a set of those on my Yamaha Warrior and they worked extremely well! They allowed me to ride all winter with thin, uninsulated riding gloves without a problem because they completely blocked all of the heat-sucking wind and, as a bonus, kept small twigs and stuff from slapping my hands while I rode - not that you will have a problem with that while blowing snow...lol. To be fair, keep in mind that while riding, my hands were almost always lifting, pulling and generally putting the "grip-of -death" on my handlebars (heh heh) so there was always plenty of body heat and ample circulation (aka fear induced high blood pressure) which probably wont be the case, again, while snow-blowing your driveway. But yes, I LOVED mine!well my toro's are too old to have electric hand warmers which got me to thinking about hippo hands for motorcycles and using them on a snowblower. the other day I got an email from amazon with hand warmers, anyone use these

I completely agree with the mitten idea. At the end of last winter, since neither of my walk-behind blowers have a stator, therefore no hand warmers, I grabbed my "Glomitts" out of my bowhunting gear (out of desperation) and they were the perfect answer! They keep my hands toasty but also have the option to peel back the fingertips if I need to do any dexterity-type work. Highly recommended!get a pair of ice armor mits and put those hot hands warmers in there. they will keep you nice and toasty warm. up there in the MOTOR CITY.
ALOHA from the unfrozen TUNDRA.Stomping around in the snow usually keeps me pretty warm, but typically my face and my hands freeze. I've used just about everything you can think of to keep my hands warm. I don't think I've ever come inside because my hands were too hot - the more the better!
