User Reviews about Sno-Knife Roof Snow Removal Tool Rake

I bought my sno-knife several years ago. After a little practice I realized what an amazing tool this is. This year we had record snow here in flagstaff and let me say it has been awesome to be able to clear my roof and not end up with an aching back. Not only that but four of my neighbors waited in line to borrow it. I just ordered my second sno-knife and two of my neighbors are ordering their own sno-knives. If you live in an area where clearing your roof of snow is a must then you need this tool. -- simply awesome

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. -- Works well, but...

At the time I ordered the sno-knife I had a 30" snow accumulation about 12 feet up from the edge of my roof that resulted from blowing and drifting snow caused by 15-20 mph winds. By the time my sno-knife arrived, the snow was frozen solid since the temperature was below freezing for several days. The sno-knife was able to deal with the situation with relative ease.

Also, a portion of my roof is not accessible by standing directly under a snow rake since the terrain falls off sharply on the west side of the house. With the sno-knife I was able to work from an angle and remove the snow over the portion of the roof not otherwise accessible.

I actually ordered my SK-P4 (20 foot) sno-knife on eBay from sno-knife. The price was $59.95 and the shipping was $9.00 via UPS. -- snow drift

once you use the sno-knife you will wonder how you did without it. it is so much faster and easier than anything out there. I have had one for 4 years now, and used it a lot and it still looks like new. It can be used to clean decks too. -- good by snow rakes
