AVALANCHE! SRD20 Snow Rake Deluxe 20 with 24-Inch Wide Rake Head 20-Feet Quick Connect Lightweight Aluminum Handle

Comment: After waiting an extra 3 days for an over night delivery fee, it broke after 15 minutes of use. I bought another snow rake that was braced for just over one-half the price ($35 vs $60) that has raked two icy snow-covered rooves without failing.

Comment: The plastic head is WELL designed for both handling, cutting, and raking! The tool has reinforcement flanges that will allow NORMAL cutting through tough tops and drawing snow off high rooftops. It IS plastic material BUT the snow does NOT cling (UGH...like the shovel). The tool is MORE useful than shovel(s) for moving ground accumulations that fall from the roof. Just remove the pole segments to suit the job. This is especially useful for helping to prevent OVER exertion during critical snowfall. The naked pole is useful for pre-cutting rake-sized pad to draw off the roof. Good job and no wonder Amazon now says, "...nn week delay in shipping." th

Comment: Review of Avalanche SRD20 Snow Rake
This snow rake works fine for light dry snow if you get at it before it packs. Mine broke on the plastic rake where the first metal section attaches. This happened after about 20 hours of use. Granted, some of this snow was packed and needed some pulling to loosen. I have had other brands that held up to this type use for a full season or two. This is not a heavy duty item so I could only recommend it for areas that receive an average of one or two heavy snowfalls per winter.
Packaging from Amazon was fair. One end of the packing box was completely open on arrival, but no pieces were missing. Shipping from Amazon was otherwise excellent.

Comment: Broke on the first use!!! Sent it up the roof, about half way down and SNAP! pole in my hands, blue rake on the roof. See you in the spring!

Comment: This is a great product though pricey. Within 10 minutes of unpacking the rake I was scraping more than 2 feet of snow off my screen porch roof. I was concerned about buying a plastic rake but it is sturdy, has mini wheels to protect the roof shingles and is light weight. Just chop 6 inches at a time and it works fine. Don't buy the pole extensions - I used just 4 of the 5 included to reach the roof peak. Simple storage device keeps all the parts together.
