Light weight aluminum means you can place it on the roof from 20 feet away, making it easy to lift. As soon as I started pulling, I discovered that you can't remove 500 pounds of snow in one grab. This feature isn't intended for that purpose. With ease, I was able to pull off bites measuring six inches long. Adding more pole sections gave me the ability to reach higher up the roof, where the snow wasn't as deep and I could remove the chunks off the roof in 12 inch bites. As a result of the wheels, I was not concerned about damage to the roof. I would have been able to handle the snow rake job much easier if I had purchased the snow rake before the snow storms hit and the snow would not have been so dense or compacted. Get it done! Purchase this snow rake so you can use it before you need it if you live in the snowbelt like me (North of Chicago). There is a good chance you will be satisfied I wouldn't mind having your equipment if it was easy to assemble and it came with all the hardware and even the tools.
The rake would not be a good option for taking snow off of a car because of the risk of scratching the paint, but it would be appropriate for removing snow from roofs. This product is made from lightweight aluminum tubes and end pieces. The lightweight design makes it very convenient To adapt the handle length to your needs, you can adjust it. The first time I used it, I removed about 8 inches of wet snow from my greenhouse roof (corrugated plastic panels), and it took me less than five minutes from the ground to complete the job. It seems sturdy enough to me, but I am not certain how long it will last. There is a solution to the.
Despite the price tag, this snow rake performs well and is reasonably priced. Assembly was a little challenging, since the little nubs meant to connect the pieces kept getting stuck in the hollow parts, but that's not too major. The breaking point. It's good that you can adjust the length of the handle without using all parts of it. Using this method made raking a variety of roof pitches As I cleared 2, I was gradually able to move forward. Snow that is 5 feet high has been brushed off my garage and off of my roof so as to prevent ice damming. It appears that the roof is unharmed. Product that will be useful for homeowners in regions where there is moderate snowfall each year.
Although its reach is very long, the handle is easier to handle than with rakes made of plastic and with graphite handles. Because it is lightweight, durable, doesn't dig into snow so deeply that pulling it is difficult, and has rollers that help protect your shingles, it is extremely convenient. has borrowed it, and he is now planning to purchase one for his tall Though the rollers will not protect you against scratching the ribs on the metal roof, we are afraid we wouldn't be able to use it.
The poles are light, easy to assemble, having braces on them is nice, and the spring button will hopefully not break during use.
Someone needed to be able to get up to my first floor porch roof and unbolt my Christmas lights from the second floor gutters. That required clearing the snow from the roof. I found this to be useful. Although I had a hard time adapting to the new system, I eventually got used to it.
To date, I have used this rake just one time this year, but I found it to be very effective. The system needs to be put through its paces this winter to see if it holds up. The first few days have gone well.
