“This product was very easy to assemble. It is lightweight which is important when reaching up to the roof of your house. It works great for light or heavy snow or fresh fallen snow. Do not try to remove snow that has become frozen (ice like) to the roof as you will damage or break the Avalanche as stated in the manual. It does not get hung up on gutters when removing snow. A great tool to remove snow from your roof and prevent ice dams which can lead to extensive damage."

“The hip roof and 5/12 pitch on my house doesn’t shed snow readily. The pitch and shape seems to make the snow drift heavily to one side when the winds are high. Very little seems to blow off. At one point in 2010 I had a huge mountain of snow on my roof. I had just bought the Avalanche snow tool and it was the first snow I used it on. With this tool I was able to get most of it off the roof which allowed the remaining snow near the ridge, which I could not reach, to quickly melt. I was amazed that I could get so much snow off the roof. As I expected the tool is sort of cumbersome with such a long fiberglass handle, so it takes some effort to move it. But the job was far easier than I expected. Once you move the device to a point where you want to start removing snow, pushing it up the roof is relatively easy, even when it is as deep as it was on my roof. I bought the one with the larger wheels, which I think helps. I really like this device and I can’t imagine anything better to get snow off of a roof safely and quickly. ”

Let me begin by saying...congratulations to your company on hitting the mark for providing a truly effective snow removal roof rake! Blizzard of 2010 allowed us to really put your product to the test. Our first snowstorm for the winter was in December 2009 and we were removing snow from our barn and house roof tops utilizing a shovel, long handled/wide head broon and two worn out bracks. It took 18 hours, but with the Avalanche Roof Rake it only took 6 hours! More importantly with the extended handle, you made it safe. It preveneted Mark (my husband) from having to get on the roof tops. gppd job again for your creative thinking in the block cutting and slide removal design.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a great product, it arrived today and we used it tongiht to remove snow from our deck roof, porch roof and house. We already had ice dams from all the snow...we have had almost 4 feet of snow here in western PA. in the last few weeks! Wish we knew about this earlier so we could have preveneted the ice dams...but we are happy to have such a great product and will let our neighbors know how great it works. The workmanship is wonderful..it is made very well. We did not expect delivery so soon and were really happy to receive it so quickly. P.S. My husband had all the fun using it, I got the snow removal from the walkways job after the "Avalanche", ha ha!!

We have had a record breaking snow fall this winter here in Baltimore of over 50 inches just in the past 3 weeks. I was searching for something to get the snow that has been sitting on my roof for over 2 weeks. I do not get alot of quick melting because of the tree cover. After work yesterday I rushed home and used the Avalanche and quickly removed the snow from my roof in less than 20 minutes with little effort. I had so much snow in my driveway I had to get out the snowblower to clear this thick wet snow. As I was using it a few people driving by slowed to see what I was doing. I would recommend this to anyone that needs to remove snow off their roof! Thanks for a great product!

WE ABSOLUTELY L0VE IT!!!

My husband has major back problems and has had three back surgeries over the years. He has had to stop doing many things that he has enjoyed with his independence. We were watching Cool Tools and saw thus product and decided to give it a try. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! This has given him much more independence and he can very easily use this while cleaning off the roof here in Maine. We want to thank the individual who invented this product as we feel that once the word gets out it will be beneficial to many individuals who have limited ability.

What a great invention!!

Used the Avalanche 500 for the first time this afternoon. What a great invention. I'm ordering two more pole pieces so that I can easily reach all the way to the ridge line. The way the snow slides off I think I could do the whole roof in less than an hour. Thanks for this great tool.
