I've used aluminum rakes (lift over, drop into snow, then pull down - slow process with rake that sticks into drift); climbed onto the roof with a shovel (fell off once); and the Avalanche. I'll stick with this until something better comes along.

Needs bigger wheels and a MUCH stiffer and less flexible shaft. Dad got fed up pretty quick. Thanks for the vid. Its a deal breaker for this unit.

I realize I am off topic here but I would like to know where this video was taken since the view in front of the house looks to be either on the ocean or on a lake. Then again it could be an open field.

Olytoo That must be beautiful to look out at each day. I am curious were you able to find a better roof snow removal tool then the one you are using in this video?

+Paul Jenkins Haven't looked. I am actually happy with it. The snow in this video came in sideways fueled by heavy winds, then the temperature dropped below zero. What we were working through was packed and frozen.

Be careful, the rake can cause an avalanche off your roof. The steeper the roof, the higher the chances.

THANKS for making this video...I was going to buy this one but after watching your video DO NOT think this is for us live Québec and we get humid snow(8 out of 10 times) and rain also ...so our snow can get quite compact THANKS AGAIN

Thank you for posting this video. Tells me this product is not for me. I believe it's designed wrong. The path of 'most' resistance is low where the snow is but the pole is mounted to the top part of the head attachment, you can't get proper leverage. Better designs I've seen sorta have a head like this upside down like a U. The pole is attached at the bottom where you are pushing(slicing) through the snow to make better use of leverage. But like I said, thank you for posting this. If the manufacturer improves their design of this tool they should offer you a free upgrade. ;)

WCSkills I agree it could be improved. Just the same, I like it way better than others I have tried. This snow was well packed and crusted which is part of the difficulty. I am contemplating making my own to improve it.
