By using the Garelick 89421 21-foot Snow Roof Rake to safely remove snow from roofs, homeowners can prevent the damage of much-publicized ice dams. Removes weight from snow from your roof to prevent eave damage.

I ended up taking a thin rubber spatula to widen the opening on each wheel and then SLID them on from the side edges with success and ease! If you make a mistake and put it on the wrong end of the pole, simply soak it in hot water again. You will definitely want a phillips-head screwdriver and an adjustable wrench for fully tightening the bolts when assembling this roof rake."
"We had a horrendous winter this year (Eastern Oregon), and this looked liked just the ticket for getting snow off of the roof as we are too old to climb up there, and it is expensive (if you can find anybody) to get someone to clear the snow off. we got dumped with about 10-12" of new snow!"
"These are the key innovative feature, according to the product description, but there's nothing I can find about replacements, other than the language in the warranty. It worked pretty well in removing snow, even with one wheel, which I did not notice until I had used it for an hour, so it gets 3 stars as an "OK" tool."
"You have to assemble the business end of the rake to a vertical riser that attaches to the poles. The only tricky parts were getting the plastic grip onto the one extension piece and getting the wheels onto the business end of the rake. Other reviewers said it's easy to bend the rake, and I can see that being a problem if you are using it to scrape chunks of ice off the roof."
"This year we had ice dams and couldn't keep up since we had no way of getting on the roof to get the snow off. We have a split level home and we were able to reach the high roof (even for the attic windows) with ease and the ice dam is now melting away."

Keeping in mind that I have actually not used this but something similar of my own design, I can offer some suggestions if you buy this. I had to do half of my roof on a ladder in order to reach most of it and my handle was longer than this one is. If the wind catches that while you're trying to move it into position it might just sail away - and, if you hold on tight enough it could take you with it."
"Bought this 3 years ago but never used it, I tried it today and have to say this rake cut the time I normally spend raking my roofs down to about a quarter of the time, and even less effort."
"Where has this been all my life?"
"The tool is great for snow removal."
"We had 50+ inches of snow last winter and I was so glad I ordered this."
"This device was easy to assemble and relatively easy to use, except when it is windy."
"Yesterday it hit and the Avalanche worked like a champ and my wife was so impressed with it she posted a video on FB about it."
"Even the slightest breeze causes the slide to twist around on itself, rendering the design usless and causing lots of tears in the slide."

Find Best Price at Amazon"great idea, for new snow works like a charm, but get a ice layer built up and the material will tear, so get it when its newly fallen (great workout for the shoulders)."
"The ones who stay strong all year were able to clear the snow off the roof better and easier than those who let their strength and flexibility wane."
"My hubby was able to get about 2 feet of snow off the back side of the roof in about an hour!"
"Got more snow in 4 days than we have had in 8 years."
"Great roof rake."
"For deep compacted snow I would not recommend the Razor, probably works great with a fluffy snow but then this would not be of concern, it’s the deep heavy compacted snowfall that causes the cave ins."

"No metal edge to wear away, it pushes heavy or light snow with ease, just push it at an angle an it works just like a blade on a snow plow."
"This strong blade easily breaks up ice and plows through larger snow piles."
"These shovels are sturdy and lightweight."
"Come on really .I had to nuts and bolts to replace them with but I didn't order 3/4"s of a shovel."
"Very well designed and looks like it would do the job...maybe even too well as we haven't gotten any measurable snow this year."
"BEST SNOW PUSHER I EVER HAD--AND I AM 65!!!"
"Literally fell apart - nuts and bolts separated and then the handle wouldn't go back in."

"My car isn't the strongest so if it ever got stuck I'd whip out this shovel and dig it out The metal blade is great and useful for dealing with ice!"
"Used this to dig my truck out of 3 ft of snow that i got stuck in."
"Even though it is incredibly light it could still pick up a good amount of snow and there was no bending or flexing of the handle or shaft."
"Great little shovel, just what I was looking for in a winter snow shovel for the car. I like the idea of being able to shovel myself out, when away from home and no access to the big shovels."
"A huge box that was so big a ton of crumpled paper was included to keep this from being rattled around."
"Very nice basic shovel for emergency or backpacking."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Living in Wisconsin we get a lot of snow, and my previous snowblower was a small 18" MTD that handled most everything for 12 years. The first day was 3" light powder which the Toro chewed through quite well and probably cut my normal shoveling time in half. It was just too much for the Toro to handle and though I was able to clear most of our driveway it took a couple hours and a lot of help from my shovel. And to be fair, I'm not judging based on THAT-- it is rated for light snowfall and a max 10" intake, not for replacing a large 2-stage snowblower. It is very annoying to keep manuevering 30 lbs of heavy plastic cord and bending over to move it. I tried to use an S shaped pattern and kept it on my shoulder which helped but the best thing was to have my wife follow behind me holding the cord. It also helps to move slowly in narrow strips to keep the motor from bogging down. Todays plastics are very strong and the previous Power Curve model has over 700 positive reviews and very few complaints of any parts failing. -it quickly clears small to medium snow-- probably perfect for areas with light snowfall. -snow is thrown an impressive distance (10-20'). -would be good for using on a wood deck or roof. The negatives: -its expensive. Comparable electrics are cheaper and single stage gas blowers start around $50 more. -you need to press the trigger AND a small safety button at the same time to activate motor. (TIP: I put a small C-clamp to keep the thumb button depressed and it was a huge improvement.). I'm going to try and stick it out with the Power Curve for the rest of the winter, but next Fall I'm probably going to need to replace it with a gas blower. The connectors had water in them and the motor armature was wet and the housing had considerable surface rust."
"I live in Northeast Ohio and we just got the years first heavy snow, a wet 10 inch snow some of which had drifted to over a foot deep, all the neighbors had out their big gas powered blowers, you know, the ones that require their own parking spot. Anything below 8" is a walk in the park, it throws the snow a good 10 to 15 feet, the wet stuff more like 10 feet."
"+ Best at clearing 2-8" of snow of any density. + Enough power to get a decent throw to keep snow off of the area(s) you're clearing. + Durable - I've banged mine around a bit and it keep on chugging. Cons: - Light weight - yes, this is actually an issue for a snowblower when you have larger amounts of snow / heavier snow to clear. Yes, it's electric but this little puppy just doesn't have the juice to deal with packed snow or heavy, wet snow that's more than a couple of inches high. So all in all, if you have a smaller driveway, live somewhere where snow is occasional (<8x/year) or snowfalls are smaller (sub 6") and lighter (think puffy, dusty snow instead of slushy,icy) this will work great for you. In the northeast, where I am, most folks use gas snowblowers and while I envy their ease of clearing snow I don't miss the fact that the machines are massive, require ongoing maintenance, and need to be separately fueled."

"So it would not fit larger than that, but would be great for the same size or smaller."
"This cover's quality appears to be good and, while I may have preferred a thicker material, I am confident it will serve my purpose well, which is to cover my 26 inch Sears blower while it is outside during the season and stored in my garage the rest of the year."
"I purchased this for my 9.0 HP, 29 inch two-stage snow blower from Craftsman that I've had for well over ten years."
"Excellent."
"Fits nice but, you must put it on from back to front. I gave it a real good pull by hand figuring it would just rip but it held without any signs of weakening."
"Love the self-storage bag that's attached so when it's not being used the cover fits into a nice little bag."
"While the cover would be "good enough" to keep dust and grim off my snow blower while stored in a garage by no means is it of a quality for long-term storage outside in the elements."

Just take an open end wrench, place it on the SQUARE end of the fuel inlet part and twist the inlet to the location/direction you need, so no need for a kinked fuel line. When attaching the carb to the engine make sure to tighten evenly to compress the gasket slightly for no air leaks."

"Replaced the carb on my snowblower with this one and it works like it is brand new."
"The Tecumseh engine of my snow blower wasn't running well. Running the new line that came with this carb would have been even harder so I didn't bother."
"I used it on an older ariens 5/24 snowblower and it started right up after installing this newer style carburetor that doesn't have the screw on the bottom of the bowl like the original did."

"The instructions said some cars would be able to just use the flaps but if i didnt tie it down, i would wake up with an exposed windshield which defeats the purpose of buying this item."
"I tied the strings to the steering wheel as suggested on one side, the other I put in the clove compartment and closed it in."

"Due to the very abnormally warm weather we are having here in the North Northeast, I haven't been able to comment on this product previous to this."
"I would love to see this company get a more sturdy product that is a little heavier in material."
"The material is very lightweight, so much so that it slid on my windshield when I went from the passenger side to the driver side to secure it, the cover shifted from its original position to another. I'm pretty sure the neighbors got a good laugh watching me shuttling from the driver side to the passenger side at least half a dozen times like a persistent mad man. The cover did a good job with the ten inches of snow we got just recently."

These seem like the cross links will last longer than the chains, they don't mark up my pavement or tear up my lawn and they give you a smoother ride."
"Easy to install when you can move the tire around and tighten back and front and adjusting the rubber bars without any pressure on them. Bit bumpy when the tires are inflated to 10 psi, I might reduce the tire pressure to get a smoother ride."
