If you do plan on getting a tool for that purpose long term, get one with a forged one piece blade vs a two piece welded blade, so that it will increase the chance of lasting more than a few years if regularly used on stuff other than dirt.

I do have that ice chisel cleaver tool. I wish it were a little longer cause when you get it down to about a 45 degrees it just goes through the compact snow so nicely and satisfying. It’s like those ships breaking up ice in the Arctic. You could probably make a game like that pressure-washer simulator.
