Craftsman Snow Blowers

Sears trademarked the Craftsman brand in 1927. Since then, Craftsman has become Canada’s top-selling tool brand. They started making snowblowers in the late 1960’s. Known for their quality and warranty, Craftsman power equipment is a popular brand. These machines are available exclusively from Sears Canada (from https://www.justsnowblowers.ca/).

Why Buy Craftsman Snow Blowers?

“When it comes to safe operation, Craftsman has some of the safest snow blowers on the market, which makes them great for beginners new to snow blowing. However, all of their snow blowers are still power tools so you have to still treat them as such, keeping safety in mind at all times”, from www.backyardboss.net

“I use this snowblower to clear a 30′ driveway and my elderly neighbors driveways on both sides. My favorite features are the tilt – packed, normal, gravel. This allows you to customize how close the plow is to the ground. Very handy for gravel driveways.”

“I have owned several wheeled blowers before and now that I have this I wish I would have known what an improvement it is. There really is not comparison to how easy it is to operate and powerful it is. It is worth the extra money.”

“WOW, I love this snowblower! Such an incredible machine. It plows thru drifts and clears heavy snow that my wheeled snowblower could only dream about. My only regret is not upgraded sooner!”

“I bought this right before what is HOPEFULLY the last snow of this season! We received about 6 “-8″ on our very steep driveway. This thing climbed the hill like a champ!”

Snow Blower vs Snow Removal Service

Still having trouble deciding whether to buy a snowblower? Consider the following:

1. Your Time is Valuable

Life is busy… kids, family, and work can often get in the way. Shoveling snow is just another task that you don’t need. One of the main reasons homeowners choose a snow removal service is because they value their time and don’t enjoy clearing snow.

2. Snow Blowers Are Inconvenient

A snow blower takes time to use, clean, and maintain. Imagine having to pull out the snowblower every time it snows or when the snowplow blocks your driveway. It could be early in the morning or in the middle of the day. Do you want to go through the hassle?

3. More Money Than You Think

There is a hefty cost in buying a snowblower, but many homeowners think that once purchased, you will save more money. Consider the time it takes to maintain and use a snowblower. It costs about $100/year for annual snowblower maintenance (oil change, lubrication, and more), plus the time it takes you to bring your snowblower for servicing. Consider how much your time is worth when deciding to use a snow removal service or buying a snowblower.

4. Operating Snow Blowers and Shoveling Snow Increase the Risk of Heart attacks

Snow shoveling and pushing a snowblower are known triggers for heart attacks, according to Harvard Health. Rarely exercising and cold weather both boost blood pressure, interrupt blood flow to part of the heart, and make blood more likely to form clots.
