History of the Phillips Snow Cutter :
The
Phillips Snow Cutter was designed by Pennsylvania contractor, Kent
Phillips, who was determined to find a better way to get snow off
of his roof.
Removing snow
from a roof can be a frustrating task. When using a roof rake
or other methods, the snow often gets packed
into heavy unyeilding piles. Kent's concept was simple, effeciently
cut through the snow and to allow it to be pulled off
the roof in
neatly cut
sections. Kent
built many concepts, experimenting with different materials,
configurations, and cutting methods. He tirelessly rebuilt the
snow cutter and
had other contractors try it, each
time adjusting and fine tuning his design.
Finally he
had the angle, depth, length and width adjusted so precisely that
even the deepest, heaviest snow could be removed with minimal effort.
The tool is such an innovation, he was able to patent the design.
Those who tried the Snow Cutter are simply amazed by how well it works.
