4.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but..., May 6, 2009

This review is from: Sno-Knife Roof Snow Removal Tool Rake (Misc.)

I purchased a Sno-Knife half-way through winter and was pleased with it. However, I found it difficult to use from the ground. The pitch of my roof is 4/12 and, after attaching several extensions to get far enough from the house to get the proper angle, I found the Sno-Knife awkward to use. I then used the Sno-Knife (with one extension) from a ladder leaned against the eaves of my one-story house. This worked well for me, but some people may not be comfortable on a ladder in winter. I was very impressed how quickly the Sno-Knife slid snow off my roof (I only used it on fairly wet snow). I also was impressed with how I could remove snow at an angle to the side, so it did not slide onto me (I would guess that Sno-Knife is better at this than other roof-clearing products). Sno-Knife should be easier to use from the ground on steeper roofs, but question its use with two-story houses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Without a doubt the best roof snow removal tool., December 31, 2010

This review is from: Sno-Knife Roof Snow Removal Tool Rake (Misc.)

I purchased a Sno-Knife over two years ago in order to remove the snow from the roof of our mountain cabin. After using the tool, I was impressed to say the least. I subsequently purchased a spare blade and I have not needed it as the original is still going strong. Our cabin roof is metal and very steep and when removing the snow, I try to position myself off to one side as I learned the hard way that you do not want to be directly in line with the snow when it comes off. I make it a point of heading to the cabin for snow removal after we have had a storm. I keep a large snowblower on the covered porch and I remove the deck snow, then I use the Sno-Knife to clear the roof and blow that snow off of the deck. I then go around to the other side of the cabin, blow the snow off of the road, remove the roof snow and blow that snow off of the road. This tool works great and is made in the USA. Highly recommend

This review is from: Sno-Knife Roof Snow Removal Tool Rake (Misc.)

Purchased this just before last season. Minimal snow (no more than 14" at a time) so this didn't get heavily used. This year is proving to be a different story! This item works! 4000 square feet of roof and in the past it has taken me three days of sun up to sun down work to get the snow off! The snow knife has cut my time down to 5 to 6 hours and the roof is cleaner than it was when I used a shovel! It's also one heck of a lot better on the shingles!
Well worth the cost, purchased from Northern Tool through Amazon.
