Roof Razor Snow Removal System
The Roof Razor Snow Removal System is a patented, lightweight aluminum tool designed to safely and efficiently remove snow from roofs. Its 24-inch cutting head and extendable poles allow users to clear snow from the ground, reducing injury risks. Ideal for homeowners and contractors, it prevents ice dams and roof damage while protecting shingles with its wheel-based design.
Metal Roof Kit
The Metal Roof Kit is an optional accessory featuring 4-inch wheels to protect metal roofing surfaces during snow removal. It ensures smooth gliding over metal roofs without scratching the paint. Designed for compatibility with all Roof Razor models, it addresses specific needs for metal roof maintenance while maintaining tool efficiency.
Angle Kit
The Angle Kit includes specialized pole sections to optimize snow removal on low-pitch or angled roofs. It enhances the Roof Razor's versatility for challenging roof designs. This accessory improves access and effectiveness, ensuring thorough snow clearance in hard-to-reach areas while maintaining user safety.
Drift Cutter Kit
The Drift Cutter Kit accelerates snow removal in deep or wind-packed drifts, enhancing the Roof Razor's performance. It includes hardware for easy attachment to existing tools. Designed for extreme conditions, it reduces effort and time required to clear heavy snow accumulations on residential or commercial roofs.
Snow Slide Replacement
The Snow Slide Replacement is a durable, hand-sewn tarp that disperses snow safely during removal. Attached via bungee cord, it prevents damage to landscaping by directing snow away from the user. This wear-prone component is easily replaceable, ensuring long-term tool functionality and continued protection against roof damage.

Im a 43yo male, and this thing makes it fun to remove snow from the roof. My kids love it, they try to get buried by laying down under where Im using it. I love how it can launch the snow a few feet away from the house, it all doesnt build up right next to the house. I use it on a single story ranch house. I bet my neighbors think Im strange about how much my kids and I were laughing when we used it a week ago. I needed some support from the company 2 years after I purchased it, and they were super helpful.
