Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sno Brum Original Snow Removal Tool with Telescoping Handle
Customer Review: It Works, but with Shortcomings
Summary: 4 Stars
I am giving it a 3.5 stars. It is between a "It is ok" and "I like it". I will refer it as a Snow Plow as opposite to a Snow Broom because of motion which to use it resembles a plow or a hoe. I bought it for $17.
Pro:
Does not scratch car paint
Remove large section of snow faster than the a snow brush
Extended handle allows ease of use
Cons:
Cannot efficiently remove snow from non-flat surfaces
The screwed-on foam plow can come loose
The telescoping handle does not securely lock in place
In details:
Dec 19, 2009. The northeast experienced a historic snow storm and I was very excited to test this Sno Brum, after just getting it 2-3 days beforehand. Unlike a snow brush, the durable blue foam plow does not flex, so it can remove snow much faster than my previous snow brush. In fact, the thicker the snow, the bigger the advantage. My feeling is that it will perform no better than a snow brush when the snow is only 1/8th inch on a car, but it really performed well against that ~6 inches snow on my car. However, because the foam does not flex, it cannot contour to uneven areas. For example, this tool removed snow from my car roof very fast, but it could not remove snow around my side mirrors and few other places. I had to use my hands to remove snow from those areas. On average, it is still much faster to remove snow from my car using the Sno Brum. The extended handle also came in handy, as I did not have to reach over. However, the screw-on mechanism which is supposed to keep the handle extended was not secure. It was fine when I pulled the snow using this tool, but when I pushed the snow, the handle contracted on a few occasions. This was not a huge problem as I rarely needed to push snow, and I worked around this. Another problem is that the foam plow is screwed onto the handle and it came partially unscrewed twice. Not detrimental, but annoying. It is one thing to adjust a tool in a sunny 70 F degree environment. It is another thing to adjust it in a snow storm wearing thick clothes and gloves. Overall, I think it is an improvement over my previous snow brush, but with obvious shortcomings.
*Update Dec 31, 2009*
Another snow day. Again, get to play with this tool. It removed snow very fast, but cannot remove snow in non-flat surfaces. The blue foam came loose once.
*Update Jan 08, 2010*
Probably the last update. Snow day. It again removed snow very fast, but the blue foam again came loose from the pole. I am wonder if I should just glue them together, but then it will be too bulky in my trunk.
*Update Feb 13, 2010*
We experienced one of the worst snow day on Feb 9-10, 2010, worse than the Dec, 2009 one. I have uploaded two photos and Snow Baum plowed through the snow fairly fast because it can dig into the snow. Again, it came loose several times, so that was annoying.
*Update Jan 18, 2011*
Still works fine. It was very efficient in removing the snow on my car.
Description of Sno Brum Original Snow Removal Tool with Telescoping Handle
The SNO BRUM offers consumers a way to quickly sweep snow off a vehicle and away from the user. Perfect for sport utility vehicles and minivans where reaching the across the width of the windshield with a typical snow brush is often challenging. With the SNO BRUM, drivers can easily push even heavy, wet snow off the roof, hood and trunk without scratching the paint or harming the finish of any vehicle. The durable molded polyethylene foam head has been lab-tested for non-abrasiveness, freeze resistance and center load stress and durability and has achieved the highest ratings in all tests. The oversized head (6' x 17") is the largest snow remover available. The high-impact plastic face plate is recessed into the foam to prevent contact with the vehicle.
