Snow Blowers & Snow Removal

Snow Blowers & Snow Removal Gear Built for Mountain West Winters

Choosing Between a Single-Stage and Two-Stage Snow Blower

Single-stage snow blowers use one auger to pick up snow and throw it out of the chute in one motion. They're light, easy to maneuver and well suited to paved driveways, sidewalks and patios with light to moderate snow. Two-stage snow blowers add an impeller that throws snow farther and handles deep, heavy or wet snow, plus the hard-packed pile left by the plow. Because the auger rides above the ground, a two-stage model is the better choice for gravel driveways and rural properties. Shop all snow blowers.

Battery-Powered vs. Gas Snow Blowers

Battery-powered snow blowers like the EGO POWER+ line start instantly, run quietly and need no gas, oil or tune-ups, which makes them easy to store in a garage all season. EGO also offers a self-propelled two-stage model for heavier snowfall. Gas snow blowers such as the Husqvarna two-stage line offer maximum power and runtime for long driveways, wide areas and big storms.

How to Pick the Right Snow Blower Clearing Width

Match the clearing width to the area you clear most. A 21-inch model covers walkways, decks and single-car driveways. A 24-inch snow blower suits most two-car driveways. For long or wide driveways, shop lots and acreage, a 30-inch two-stage snow blower clears more ground with every pass.

Shovels, Roof Rakes & Ice Melt

A snow blower handles the driveway, but you'll still want the right hand tools for steps and tight spots. Shop snow shovels and pushers from True Temper, snow roof rakes to take the load off your roof, ice scrapers and snow tools and ice melt and spreaders to keep walkways safe.

Keep Your Snow Blower Running All Season

Get ready before the first storm with winter-grade engine oil, a fresh spark plug and a set of spare shear bolts, which protect the gearbox if the auger hits ice or debris. Shop snow blower parts and accessories and power equipment parts and service.

Snow Blower Questions & Answers

Will a snow blower work on gravel?

A two-stage snow blower is the best choice for gravel because its auger doesn't scrape the ground. Raise the skid shoes so the housing rides just above the surface and you won't throw rocks.

Can a battery snow blower handle heavy snow?

Single-stage battery models are made for light to moderate snow. For heavier snow, a battery two-stage, self-propelled model like the EGO 24-inch adds more power. For deep, wet snow over large areas, a gas two-stage snow blower is still the strongest option.

How do I get my snow blower ready for winter?

For gas models, change the oil, check or replace the spark plug, add fresh fuel with stabilizer and keep spare shear bolts on hand. For battery models, store and charge the batteries indoors. On any model, inspect the auger, paddles and scraper bar for wear.

Is there an ice melt that's safe for pets?

Yes. Salt-free options like Sure Paws Pet-Friendly Ice Melt are gentler on paws than traditional rock salt.
