Product Description
From the Manufacturer
By far the best roof rake on the market with its exclusive, patented "Shingle Saver" rollers. This unique snow flake roller design is easier to use because the blade never touches the roof's surface, preventing damage while making it easier to roll back up the roof. 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. Ice dams cause water to back up under shingles, ruining roofs, ceilings and walls. Removing snow also relieves unnecessary weight on the roof which can damage the eaves.

21' Long Roof Snow Rake, Extra Large Blade 7" x 24", With Poly Roller Glides, All Lightweight Aluminum.

This review is from: Garelick 89421 21-Foot Aluminum Snow Roof Rake With 24-Inch Blade (Lawn & Patio)
I just had a new shingled roof put on last summer, so I wanted to make sure that I got a rake that would not damage it when removing snow. I live in the mountains of Maine, so snow is a pretty common event during the winter. After reading the reveiws of this rake, I decided that this would be the best rake for the job. The first thing I did before I assembled it was, replace the nuts, bolts, and washers with stainless steel. This costs less than $4. Some of the other reveiws complained of the originals. Cheap Fix! After using it a half dozen times, I can say that I made the right choice for a rake. Very well built, lightweight, and rugged! I would like to point out that, The proper way to roof rake is NOT to wait until you get three feet of snow accumulation,from several storms, with ice dams already present. If you use this rake the way it is intended, It should last a lifetime.

I picked this snow rake up from my local Ace; it was the last one for 20 miles. It does the job, but within the three days I've had to fix it multiple times. Both of the bolts on the diagonal supports that come off the main pole have broken off and have had to be replaced by decent ones from my local hardware store along with some lock-nuts (these have stayed on). The blade of the rake has a bend in it where I pulled on some ice trying to break it free. The rubber grip comes off if you pull on it alone.
Seeing how expensive roof rakes are, you'd figure Garelick would spring for an extra buck in the construction phase and put better nuts and bolts on it -- that alone would have raised my rating a star or two. After the repairs (which cost me just about a buck) it does it's job of getting snow off the my roof, so I can't complain **too** much.

This review is from: Garelick 89421 21-Foot Aluminum Snow Roof Rake With 24-Inch Blade (Lawn & Patio)
I got this and used this today to work all around my two story home that has multiple levels and multiple gables around windows etc. Forecast has freezing rain for tonite and rain for tomorrow. With 2 feet of snow all over the roof and snow hanging over the gutters, time to get it off the roof and gutters before this comes. The rake came with both lock washers and lock nuts. I don't see these going anywhere. Assembly was a breeze. I recommend using a screwdriver to hold the slot in the wheels open as you push them onto the blade, that makes it a lot easier than trying to push them on without one which seemed impossible to do. Last week here in WI we received 18 inches of snow. With drifting I had many areas in excess of 2 feet on the roof. This was able to knock week old snow crusted down with no problem. You'll see someone who rated this rake poorly in 2007 and was also using it to pull ice off the roof etc. This is made to pull snow down not to be used as an ice scraper which of course would put too much stress on it. It's made of Al to be lite weight so you can lift it and as such it won't be rugged, common sense is required when using this. I had no problem moving 1 foot wide by 2 foot deep section off the roof. Little pulling is required and if you are feeling resistance when pulling you are trying to move too much at once. If you can, start on the top roof first if you have a 2 story. I made the mistake of doing the lower levels and then moving to the upper. By the time I got up there I could barely lift the thing way up there as my left shoulder was pretty worn out. It's best to lift it up further away from the house and then walk towards the house as you lower it. No problem getting this to land pretty much where I wanted it. It does bend a bit when all sections are used but still no issues. After clearing the snow there is still a very thin layer of snow on the roof and no signs that the shingles were touched. I'm actually looking forward to doing the roof again and will no longer need to climb a ladder in front of the garage with a plastic snow shovel to clear part of it. NEVER USE NEAR POWER LINES. I don't care how careful you are, don't even come close to any power coming into your home or outside. When you are moving this around, the pole is 21 feet long but 16 most of the time and it will go places you aren't intending, also keep children out of the area as you could easily hit them with the end of the handle as you are using it and they walk behind you...like my Samantha did but luckily I saw here and told her to leave the area. 21ft only got me about 1 1/2 feet onto the upper level due to other areas on the home the come out away from the front. My house is not close to a box shape and has many corners but I believe this got to the areas I needed to. Just lifted a pot of noodles off the stove...my left shoulder is killing me, I guess it's time to start working out again. If you have a lot of snow on your roof like I did and have many levels, you may not want to tackle it all at once to save your body and in case you are not in the best shape. I completed my roof in less than an hour including shoveling and snow blowing the huge pile of snow that landed on the driveway. Enjoy, I researched these for about 3 weeks and kept coming back to this model and the weather caused me to pull the trigger. Just do it!
