Summer is going to past by quick this year. Don't wait for the snow to come, be ready. This well running, light weight machine makes snow removal easier than using a shovel. This machine can be started with either a pull start or electric starter by use of an extension cord plugged in to a 120 v AC source. This machine has several modifications. First of all a headlight was added and if you have a Milwaukee cordless tool battery the headlight can be utilized. Also, a impeller shaft shear pin was added to eliminate the risk of breaking the worm drive gear if something too big was sucked up in the auger and made it past but couldn't go up the chute. This isn't a Honda but would be suitable for average sized residential driveway and walkway snow clearing. And it is easier to move around than a larger size snow blower.
