i have pavers in my driveway. i am wondering about the blades screatching the pavers

It doesn't scratch my concrete, I would assume pavers should be safe, I would potentially be more worried about how secure they are so it wouldn't dislodge your pavers. I think the blades are merely vulcanized rubber so they should not tend to scratch unless a rock or something similar comes in between the two.

If you just replaced the paddles and not the scraper blade together what happens is that as the auger turns the paddle it will throw the snow some toward your feet because of the worn scraper blade and some at the chute. Therefore it will leave some snow behind. Just one quick note these snow throwers don't really do a 100 % removal on uneven surfaces. Mine has done fine for the last 2 years.

It comes with two guides, one for each side that allow you to raise the blade off the ground so it doesn't wear out. You can mount them lower to raise the blade higher to leave some snow(1/2") on the ground and keep from throwing stones. Most likely your driveway is not perfectly flat and you will throw some of the mounds.

My husband says you have to push the blades back and it may sting a bit. You have to use a screwdriver to get the blade up so it shaves real close. He still bics it.

I just ran it in one of the normal grooves the concrete guys put in your driveway and then covered it with a tube of gray concrete filler. That was 7 years ago - still works. Just make sure you don't cut it with your edger!

No different than cement driveways....I would sweep any pebble debris away first before use. If your driveway is sloped...this thing flies...

I got these blades an was a little disappointed. I do not know of the other ones but these ones have some type of magnet on the end and the handles are both flat on one side. They fit together in the sheath. Which they will rip through. I would suggest they be placed on a wall with a shield of some sort in front of them.

i would not suggest that. you could crack the plastic or even distort the cutting blades. my guess is that the blades are tempered.

the blade is plastic so I would not recommend using this if there are any rocks on your driveway, but if its just all dirt it should be fine.

I don't know, mine has never lasted long enough to dull the blades. I've gone through two of them thus far. Probably on the waring site.

I always just tilt the handle to lift the blade, and I don't have any problems. My driveway has depressed sewers and cracks, so I have to adjust as I go. Admittedly, sometimes I feel like I'm wrestling with the handle, but that's just my shoveling techniqueLOL!! I'm in Connecticut, and we've had lots of snow this winter already; my Snowcaster is doing a great job.

I only used it on driveway pavers. It worked beautifully but I can't say how hard they are compared to granite.

My surface is concrete and it works very well. The abrasiveness of the concrete does wear the blade out eventually, but any hard, smooth surface should work well as long as the snow isn't over 3-4"

I do not think so. I have two of these, one for over 5 years. I have not experienced a problem with damage to the blades.

Only if you can get a perfectly level surface. You would need to level the ground first Then be sure the pavers are even and level and fit together perfectly and will not shift when the ground gets wet. I was very fortunate because there was an already poured concrete surface in the corner of my back yard. Wouldn't it pay you to have such a surface poured for your storage unit? Of course there might be a possibility of just leveling the ground exceedingly well and then storing very heavy things which hold the unit in place. But I am not sure how ground moisture would eventually effect the shed. Only if you can get a perfectly level surface.

the blades are very sturdy and SHARP the only time I have had any bounce is that I'm cutting something to thick. These blades are bad A?? they work very well on grass and weeds

We didn't have any problems at all. We mulched pine needles, lawn clippings and small branches etc. Its did a really great job and was pleasantly surprised how well the plastic blades held out. Very good buy!!!
