Shop Rite has a supply of ice scrapers - the short-handled style and the longer style with a brush. They're located at the back of the store. I know some people were looking for these also.


So happy this post helped others. This winter has been a rough one, for sure. It was a blessing to find the supplies we needed yesterday at Amish Mike's. They were so kind and helpful too. Had to pass along the information on what we found yesterday (supplies). I am very HAPPY others could be helped too! :)

Roof rakes sounds like a trip to the emergency room - not sure why?


RU - Honestly, just the opposite. My husband uses the roof rate all the time. Much safer then actually getting on the roof.

I ordered ice melt today from amazon. Seemed better than the fruitless search I've been on for days.

If you go to home depot, you can make your own roof rake with PVC, some metal brackets, and tin or wood for about $20. Takes less then 1/2 hour to make. That's what I did.

Thanks Baci.....I thought that was a little high until I saw this one on Amazon last night going for over $60!! These rakes sure aren't cheap!

Just noticed it's now currently unavailable so they must have sold out since last night:

BTW, I was in the Rockaway NJ Home Depot this morning and they are sold out of roof rakes and just about everything else associated with this thread as well.


Just got a roof rake today from Amish Mike's in Budd Lake. With tax about $58.


Was just at Amish Mike, they just got in more snow shovels, roof rakes, rock salt and calcium.

These were real popular last season. I received a price drop alert email this morning from http://camelcamelcamel.com/ for the below 21 foot roof rake on Amazon:

It was $63 yesterday and dropped down to it's current price of $51.28 at 6AM this morning. They also dropped the price on the 16 foot rake which is now $44.44 if anyone is interested.

Here is the price history for this via Camelcamelcamel. Love that site!! :-)
