You sit down here effortlessly hang on to the trigger of your favorite saw. >> Yeah. >> Just squeeze the trigger, man. >> It's gonna cut like butter. >> Gonna cut like butter. My name is George Packard and I am the inventor of the snow hammer. I'm up in Wisconsin, so we get a lot of snow every year. Who's the guy on the roof? I'm the guy on the roof. I looked into everything. Closest thing I found was a rake called the avalanche rake. So, I'm like, "All right, what if I took that rake and put it on steroids, so to speak? cooks up to anybody's either it's a reciprocating saw or saw. Now, if you watch the end of this, watch where the orange is down here. Watch this thing move. When you hit that trigger down here, there's no more of jamming this avalanche rake up into snow and snow and snow. And you can do it from the ground, which is super cool. This saw isn't this length on purpose. I had to make it this length just for the show. We have all these adapters that hook together. These all snap into each other and then these plates go over the top and they secure them in place. What's the total length? So, you can make this any you can make it as long or short as you want up to 20 ft. We got it to show for the first time today and the response has been fantastic. got excited about this product and I hope to get it out to everybody very
