I recently purchased this item in an attempt to prevent further ice dam issues I was having with the heavy Wisconsin snow of the winter of '07-'08. This product was in the range of the best price I was able to find. It worked very well to rake pretty much all of my back roof (~9' high at gutter) and the extensions were enough to get the important first 5' of my front roof (~15' high at gutter). It also has the nice rollers to protect shingles and is constructed of aluminum making it light in weight and rust free. If you have ice dam problems or a persistent large amount of snow on your roof a roof rake is essential. Please note that it does not include tarp thing to pull snow away from foundation, if that's important to you.

It works just fine. I hadn't expected to get a workout in my shoulders like I do when I use it, but it's certainly capable of pulling snow off the edge of the roof. Assembly only took a few minutes using the instructions printed on the box it came shipped in. Nothing spectacular, but it works just fine.

I bought a roof rake for my father a few years ago, and he modified it with some hoops so it wouldn't snag shingles. When I saw the little wheels on this one, I was delighted someone had thought to build that into the rake. I had a chance to use it, and the wheels really do spin. The rake works great, is strong and stable. And I was happy to see its made in the USA.

When I got this I was surprised about how light it was and thought it would break since I have about 2 feet of snow on my roof. The rake was easy to assemble and pulled a lot of snow down. I was able to reach almost all the way to the peak and feel a lot better now. When totally put together it was very light and was easy to reach and even held up to some hard pulling of really crusty snow. This may not be the fanciest rake out there, but it exceeded my expectations and is well worth the money.

I have a ranch style house between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, NY. Boy does it snow!! The rake works great for me with only one extension needed. I did exchange one nut & bolt as suggested by other reviewers (I thank them for the advice). The wheels on the rake are a must for my asplalt shingles.

Very happy with this purchase. Lightweight but yet sturdy. The rollers are a great feature and work well to keep the metal blade from scraping the roof shingles. Assembly was quick and easy. I ended up putting it together without the instructions because I didn't realize they were printed on the inside of the cardboard box until I cut it up for recycling.

just bought mine to Rake Roof on my house..would highly Recommend E Z to use wheels help so you Don't break shingles.

My wife purchased this product for me, and I am very pleased with this roof-rake. The wheels roll down the shingles, exactly like they said it would. It does not touch the roof. I removed about a foot of snow successfully and you get a good work out :) I recommend this rake to anyone. I received this within a week of ordering. Absolutely no problems with shipping.

I rate this Garelick snow rake as the best for removing snow on the market. I have one that I thought was the best; but this Garelick is better by far.

I recommend the Garelick Roof Rake highly. It has a "blade" that slices through any crust nicely, yet the rollers protect the roof. Much appreciated this year!

I had a minor issue with my order, but Toby's Tool Shed went way above and beyond to make it right. They were a pleasure to deal with, I am very satisfied, and I also recommend them.
