How to choose Snow Rakes

 Snow rakes are durable, rugged tools used in snow removal. Snow rakes are heavy tools for the amount of force they can generate, so it is important to pay attention to safety.

• Is the handle long enough for the user? Snow rakes are heavy, so it’s important to pay attention to the length of the handle. The handle should be long enough for the user to easily extend their arms when pushing the snow out of the path.
• Is the handle sturdy? Most snow rakes have metal handles, but some manufacturers make them out of fiberglass. Fiberglass handles tend to work better than metal ones, but steel handles are more durable overall.
•  Is the handle padded? Snow rakes can be dangerous if they aren’t properly padded, especially when the tips hit hard surfaces. Some snow rakes come with cushioned handles, which can reduce the risk of injury.
• Is there sufficient padding between the prongs? Many snow rakes have prongs that are spaced too closely together. The spacing should be wide enough for the user to easily place their feet between the prongs, even when they are pushed forward.
• Are there enough prongs? Most snow rakes come with 8-10 prongs, but some contain 12 or 16. The fewer prongs, the easier it will be for the user to push snow out of the path.
• Does the rake have smooth edges? If the prongs are sharp, they can cause damage to the user’s feet.
• Is the rake lightweight enough? Most snow rakes weigh around 15 pounds, but they can be heavier. If the rake is too heavy, the user may tire quickly, which can be dangerous.
• Is the handle comfortable? Snow rake handles are made from metal, fiberglass, or plastic. Most snow rakes come with metal handles, which are more durable overall.

How to maintain Snow Rakes

 Snow rakes are handy tools that help you clear snow from the sidewalk and driveway. Unfortunately, they can sometimes become very rusty and ineffective at removing the snow quickly. To keep your snow rake in working condition, there are a few additional cleaning and maintenance tasks you can do.

• Use a wire brush to remove any loose pieces of rust. The rust may be best removed with a wire brush, which will allow you to properly clean the rust from the metal.
• Rinse your snow rake thoroughly. Once the snow rake is clean, rinse it thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry.
• Apply lubricant. If your snow rake has metal parts that are starting to rust, you can spray them with lubricant. This will help keep the metal parts from rusting too quickly in the future.
• Store your snow rake properly. After you’ve rinsed the snow rake and allowed it to dry completely, store it in a dry place. This will help prevent rust from forming and maintain a rust-free state.
