Ariens Clean Out Tool Review
Lost my clean out tool twice. Paid a fortune to replace my first one.
This one was affordable. Ordering was simple.
I'm ready for another winter.
Now, where did I put this thing? :)

Clean Out Tool
Got one with my snow blower, after a big snow, I used it to clear the impeller area of the blower and it took the orange paint off of the snow blower. This was the first time I actually used the blower.
Now I'll have to buy the paint and fix it in the spring. Must have been a BAD paint job on the blower I got.

No longer a virgin (snowblower)
I purchased my first 2 stage snow blower ever, an Ariens compact 20 model 920007 with extra shear pins, cover, and paint.
I'm still getting used to it because we just had our first snow of the year in Island Park, New York. Long Island usually doesn't get a lot of snow at once, but, wouldn't you know it- we got hit with up to 24" of the fluffy stuff over the course of 24 hours! Wow, what a rude awakening!!
Well, this 20" cut and 17" tall chute opening sliced through that stuff like a hot knife through butter, without so much as a whimper... And many times the snow was a foot over the top of the chute.
I will never, ever, not buy another blower that doesn't say ARIENS on it again. I wish I sold these things for a living, but, all in all, they sell just themselves.
In 3 hours of hard use it when through only 1 gallon of fuel. I did 3 driveways, our walkways, and even the street to get around.
In 6th gear I had to chase this thing down the block. Reverse was the best with 2 speeds as well.
I could have used a larger unit to save time, but I was having such a good time, i didn't care...
Snow Blowers Direct.com was great with price, delivery and quality of its products, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody reading this, or friends in need!
ARIENS RULES the snow by far!!! I purchased my first 2 stage snow blower ever, an Ariens compact 20 model 920007 with extra shear pins, cover, and paint.

Clean out tool Right ON the Machine !
I have a long driveway. After the last major snow this year, I found myself down at the end on the first pass and the chute became jammed with the wet, heavy snow.
Because I had a Clean Out Tool attached right on my Ariens Snow Blower, I was able to clean out the chute and blower.
Without the tool I would have had to walk back to the house, find a broom handle, and then wade my way back through the drifts to the clogged machine.
It's a wonderful idea- the Tool stays right ON the machine, always handy.

GO BUFFALO
I live in Buffalo, home of "lake effect" snow.
Nothing so far seems to get in the way of this beast- this is my second Ariens. I had a single stage, 5 HP and sold it to my buddy (he loves it).
I needed a bigger one for my new driveway. I have a paved driveway and a wood deck that the unit does a nice job clearing.
I even got my neighboor to go out and buy the same one!

Good Deal On a Reliable Thrower
I ordered this Ariens 520EC from you because of your reputation as a solid internet retailer. The thrower arrived very promptly since I added priority shipment to my order, and I could not be happier.
I have quite a few acres of land and a long winding driveway, which this thing makes short work of. I strongly suggest making the extra investment with the snow cab and the clean out tool (if your model doesn't already come with this feature).
The cab keeps me warm with the strong winter wind, while the clean up tool makes short work of removing anything caught underneath in the blades (plus it keeps your hands safe!) It wouldn't hurt to have some shear pins hanging around either...
