Garelick 89421 21-Foot Aluminum Snow Roof Rake With 24-Inch Blade

Garelick snow roof rake (2010-04-11) : 5/5
Easy initial assembly, easy snap-together extensions for the handle. Used it one time this winter season and the 24" blade did quick work clearing the snow. I look forward to, hopefully, never having enough snow to use it again. Ever. The multiple section design means easy off-season storage. And, it's made in the U.S.A.

This product saved our garage. With all of the snow that we had this year, it put a great deal of weight on our garage roof. This rake made it much easier to get it cleaned off to avoid a collapse.
Works ok but would rate higher with better locknuts (2010-03-29) : 4/5
It works for one story within about 4' or so of the edge while standing on level ground. Maybe a ladder could be used, but I didn't try. I didn't buy any 5' extensions, but can imagine that only one more 5' extension would be practical due to flexing of the 20' rake handle as it is. The lock washers were not sufficient (lost a nut after an hour use) and I suggest buying lock nuts with nylon inserts to more permanently fasten the rake head together. I recommend this rake with the lock nut caveat.

haven't got to use it yet for snow since we have not had snow since ordering. Did have to use it to retrieve a shoe my kids kicked off onto the roof and it got it down. Seems sturdy like it will work!
Seems OK (2010-03-29) : 4/5
Stop snowing since I got this but appears well constructed and will do the job
