Minnesota is a place where winter might not really get going until January or February, but we might also get buried in early November. Our temperatures can be pretty mild, or we can plunge into sub-zero weather for weeks at a time. The Twin Cities and surrounding areas are no stranger to an abundance of snow and ice, so getting ready before the winter wonderland arrives is wise.

Snow blowers are the one tool you don’t want to be without when living in the Midwest. Yes, humanity persisted before the invention of the snow blower, but we made due prior to the invention of the wheel as well. Although various snow removal devices were explored in the late 1800s, the first practical snow blower was patented in 1925 by Arthur Sicard.

Available in many sizes and power ratings, snow blowers make the task of clearing your driveway and sidewalks much easier than doing so with a hand shovel. Metro Pawn & Gun sees a wide range of snow blowers come into our shop. Some people upgrade to newer or more powerful models while others may downgrade if they have moved to a residence with fewer sidewalks or smaller driveways. Others just sell us their snow blowers because they may have relocated to a place that includes snow removal services or a climate where snow is just something you read about on the news. But if you’re stuck in Minnesota, don’t also be stuck in your driveway!

Metro Pawn & Gun can save you a great deal of work and a lot of money. While getting a brand new snow blower at the store for full price might be fine for some folks, we feel that a fully functional, slightly used one for a lot less money is a much better idea. Our merchandise is inspected to verify functionality, and our prices simply can’t be beat. Beat the rush that typically happens after we get our first blizzard and everyone decides they really need a snow blower.

If you are upgrading, downgrading or moving to a place devoid of snow, we are interested in your snow blower. Save yourself the hassle of trying to sell it yourself. Bring it to us and we will make a fair cash offer!
