Buyer Guide Snow Rakes

 Snow rakes are essential for clearing snow and ice from driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots. When selecting a snow rake, pay attention to its clearance, width, and length. Also, consider the product’s weight, as you’ll want to select a device with a reasonable weight.

• Clearance. The clearance is the distance between the edge of the snow-rake blade and the road surface. This distance should range between 32 and 36 inches, as anything less can lead to a back injury.
• Width. The width of the snow plow should be at least 18 inches. A wider width will enable you to move snow more easily, while a smaller width can lead to more strain on your back.
• Length. The length of the snow plow should be at least 60 inches. A longer snow plow will clear snow from large surfaces in less time, while a shorter one will require more frequent passes.
• Weight. A lightweight snow rake is easier to handle and maneuver. However, heavier snow rakes are better when it comes to pushing the snow into the road.
• Angle of Blades. Most snow plows have a 45-degree angle. The angle helps keep snow packed firmly, which reduces the amount of shoveling required.

 

How to choose Snow Rakes

 When choosing the best snow rake, there are a few important factors to consider:

• Is the rake lightweight? Snow rakes are heavy — most come with metal handles and long steel tines. However, as you shop for a snow rake, check whether the rake is lightweight. Lightweight snow rakes can help you efficiently clear snow without straining your back.
• Is the rake durable? Snow rakes typically come with metal handles and tines. However, some snow rakes are made of aluminum or plastic. While aluminum snow rakes typically last longer than plastic rakes, plastic rakes tend to be lighter and easier to maneuver.
• Does the rake come with adjustable tines? Not all snow rakes come with adjustable tines. While adjustable tines can help you efficiently clear snow, they can also be difficult to adjust. Additionally, some adjustable tines won’t reach into cracks and crevices, making it difficult to remove snow from corners and edges.
• Does the rake have a handle that collapses? Snow rakes usually come with long metal handles. However, since snow rakes are heavy, it can be difficult to lift them for extended periods of time. Some snow rakes, therefore, have handles that can collapse, making transporting the rake much easier.
• Is the rake maneuverable? If you’re investing in a snow rake, you want one that can help you efficiently clear snow while reducing strain on your back. Some snow rakes, therefore, have wheels, while others have handles that can collapse to make maneuvering the rake easier.
• What is the handle made of? Most snow rakes come with metal handles. Metal handles typically last longer than their plastic counterparts. However, some metal handles can be difficult to maneuver. If you invest in a snow rake with

 

How to maintain Snow Rakes

 Snow rakes are great tools for clearing snow from sidewalks and driveways. But, like most other garden tools, they need to be cleaned and maintained regularly.

• Before starting, make sure your snow rake is dry. Also, remove all snow from it before storing it.
• Remove any dirt or debris using a brush. If the snow rake is made out of steel, be careful not to use steel wool or harsh cleaners, as these will dull or scratch the rake.
• Use a light lubricant to lubricate the pivot points and the moving parts. This will help prevent rust from occurring.
• If you will be storing your snow rake for several months, cover it with a plastic bag. This will help prevent moisture from damaging the metal or rubber components of the rake.
• Store your rake in a cool, dry place.
• Make sure to inspect your rake after every use. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, be sure to fix it or replace it as soon as possible.
