Very good tutorial, a good watch for someone starting out. I built a rain garden last year in the back yard and it's doing it's job and the plants a thriving. Built a smaller RG up front this spring and it's still a "work in progress" LOL.

Totally worth it. I fixed my GBA SP back in 2020 that had a cracked screen since 2004. Thing still works in sound, power, and controls, I just cant see what's happening on screen. The only reason I didn't want to fix it at the time was back in the old youtube days, there were only a few tutorials on how to remove the rubber feet on the screen frame that were covering the screws of the top shell. The person on the youtube video basically destroyed his and I did not want that to happen to mine. I built the confidence after 16 years to do it and there are more videos on how to PROPERLY do it without destroying the feet (it was doing it slowly and carefully). I just asked my self, "Do i want a broken screen forever or do i want to fix this issue with a change of it actually working."

Great video and shows detail for install. New Version of CatShield NO longer needs the rivets or rivet gun or drilling. They include a nut plate now that the screws attach to. Also the lock washers were replaced with locktite. I was watching this video and already drilled the hole and installed the rivets, then was like "what is this other plate for?" hahaha.

The main flaws to these pedals are, in my opinion: 1) No wheels. Pushing one of these (I have a similar unit made by SnowJoe) through snow of varying wetness / frozenness is MUCH harder than doing the same with a hand shovel; 2) trying to maneuver a heavy head on a single pole is hard. The whole thing feels off-balance, a bit like trying to lift a concrete slab with a pool skimmer.

Not all two-stage machines are difficult to turn. Some of them have either a trigger steering or differential make it just as easy to steer as a shopping cart. I will admit that Toro does make excellent single stage snow blowers and I have their older gas-powered 518 which is what I use as a backup machine. Your gas blower might have a way of making it easy to steer but it's only going to work if the wheels are not seized to the shaft. You'll also lose drive on one wheel.

Glad that you mentioned this- I just replaced an Ariens ST927LE’s differential lock which has this. It does allow for easier steering however the Ariens, like all 2 stage gasoline snowblowers, still has a lot of weight even if it’s self-propelled. Not so easy to maneuver into a small garage space once it is shut off. And using the trigger lock does have a learning curve which would scare off a lot of people who just want to push a snowblower and not worry about triggers.

Also, when I watched you using the snowblower on your end of driveway stuff, you looked like you were having a hard time as well. I guess the tip of doing a little at a time, letting the snowblower bite into it is a good one. Also on really high parts, pivoting the snowblower up on its wheels to try. to get just the top part first may help. I see from your review I'm not missing something magical. Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing your Toro Power Clear adventure! When it comes to that end of driveway pile my best tip is to start removing immediately after the snowplow piles it up there. As you discovered it doesn’t take very long for that “EOD” pile to start freezing. I was able to power through it in the video because it was night time so the snow didn’t have much of a chance to melt and freeze due to sunlight and also because I went right out there immediately after the snowplow had passed. By the time I finished my end of driveway mess and went to help my neighbour with theirs it had already started to freeze.

This is a good question. I work in manufacturing and have used both the Rotary Tool and an angle grinder. The rotary tool is much better for cutting and grinding in much smaller places. The rotary tool also has rotary tool accessories that can be used for woodwork. An angle grinder is much larger and primarily suited for metal work, especially when it involves larger pieces of metal. I wouldn’t dare to use a rotary tool for cutting or machining larger beams of stainless steel but I also wouldn’t use an angle grinder for cutting seized bolts inside of a cramped small engine appliance like a snowblower or the inside of a car engine bay. So really they are just two different tools for different jobs.

Just went through heavy snow last week and ended up with a bad cold because I spent too much time outdoors shoveling the thick snow. Finally recovered from the cold yesterday and started looking for a new snowblower. I liked the EGO 56V single-stage snowblower, but I hesitated because it weighs 36kg. Went to another store and was impressed by how light the Toro 60V e21 snowblower is, so I bought one. I'll be using it later this week since snow is in the forecast. I'm just wondering if spraying the auger and chute with ceramic wax would reduce clogging.

It is lightweight yet very powerful, and the battery lasted for about 45 minutes. It also takes up little storage space, and its metal auger could last forever. We had about 8-10 inches of snow one night, and the E21 sliced through the snow like a hot knife through butter. The machine is basically exactly as you described in your video.

Having now had a taste of not shovelling though, I'm hooked and am ready to invest in a gas powered model.
can that power shovel be used to clear snow piled up around a fire hydrant, like in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/c2iHmJalgJueqKQ.html
Yes it can- as long as the pile of snow around the hydrant hasn’t totally frozen into a chunky, layered up mess!
@@JeremyY do you have a fire hydrant near you that gets piled up in snow? I've seen a lot of public service messages on the TV news talking about clearing snow from fire hydrants but I've never seen anyone using a power shovel to clear it.
I've watched a lot of power shovel review videos on youtube over the past 2 years and this video is definitely the BEST I've seen. Toro should PAY you!
Thank you so much for this!
costco has one for less than half the price though.
I see no real use for that power shovel,
Hauling it on the roof to clean snow
Just went through heavy snow last week and ended up with a bad cold because I spent too much time outdoors shoveling the thick snow. Finally recovered from the cold yesterday and started looking for a new snowblower. I liked the EGO 56V single-stage snowblower, but I hesitated because it weighs 36kg. Went to another store and was impressed by how light the Toro 60V e21 snowblower is, so I bought one. I'll be using it later this week since snow is in the forecast. I'm just wondering if spraying the auger and chute with ceramic wax would reduce clogging.
Checking in with you and your E21. Have you had a chance to unleash it?
@@JeremyY Just went through a heavy snowstorm and -37 degrees Celsius this couple of days. I am really impressed with the E21. It is lightweight yet very powerful, and the battery lasted for about 45 minutes. It also takes up little storage space, and its metal auger could last forever. We had about 8-10 inches of snow one night, and the E21 sliced through the snow like a hot knife through butter. The machine is basically exactly as you described in your video.
