When winter hits New England, outdoor chores don’t stop—they just get colder. Snow, ice and frigid temps can make routine tasks more challenging. But with the right winter power tools, you can clear driveways, walkways, vehicles and porches quickly and safely—so you can spend more time warm and dry indoors.
At Rocky’s Ace Hardware, we carry the most trusted winter power tool brands, including the top-rated EGO® line of cordless, battery-powered tools designed to handle tough winter conditions with ease. Whether you’re digging out after a storm or just cleaning up a light dusting, EGO power tools offer performance, reliability and convenience—no cords, no gas, no hassle—to make winter work easier.
Must-Have EGO Tools for Winter Jobs
- EGO battery snow blowers are powerful, quiet and emission-free, perfect for clearing sidewalks and driveways without the noise and maintenance of gas engines. Plus, with Rocky’s free assembly and delivery on snow blowers $399+, getting ready for winter is easier than ever.
- EGO battery snow shovels combine the ease of a shovel with the efficiency of a blower—ideal for driveways, decks, stairs and small spaces.
- EGO handheld blowers are great for clearing light snow off vehicles, steps and patios. Their portability and power make them a winter essential, especially on mornings when time is tight.
Tips for Safe, Efficient Use
- Charge batteries indoors. Cold temps can reduce battery life. Store and charge your EGO batteries indoors to maintain peak performance.
- Pre-treat surfaces. Use ice melt before storms to help tools work more effectively.
- Clear often. It’s easier (and safer) to remove smaller amounts of snow throughout a storm than to tackle it all at once.
- Inspect equipment. Before the first snowfall, check your power tools for wear, tighten loose parts and ensure batteries are charged and functioning.
Winter doesn’t have to be a battle. The right winter power tools help you tackle snow and ice quickly, so you can get back to what matters most. Visit your neighborhood Rocky’s Ace Hardware for the expert advice and brand-name winter supplies and equipment you’ll need to make winter work easier.
