Crafted with a high-density foam blade rated to resist scratching colored steel tiles, painted metal roofs, and finished shingles, this 17.7 in. snow roof rake protects what you spent good money on while clearing a heavy winter storm. The 7.3 to 18.4 ft. telescoping aluminum pole reaches across standard residential rooflines and second-story garage roofs from ground level, so you keep both feet on the ground instead of climbing onto a snow-slick ladder. High-hardness foam resists cracking and deformation in below-freezing conditions, holding shape through repeated cold snaps and storm cycles, while the aluminum alloy handle stays straight under pulling pressure thanks to a pressure-resistant build. An ergonomic round handle with anti-slip grip locks in even when work gloves are wet, and the entire rake breaks down into pole sections that store flat in a garage or shed corner. At only 4.28 lbs. (1.94 kg), this is one of the lightest 17.7 in. roof rakes you can wield overhead for extended sessions, ideal for older homeowners or anyone who finds heavier metal-bladed rakes tiring during long Northeast snow events.
