The Toro Power Clear 518 is a single-stage, gas-powered snow blower with push-button electric start. It clears a path 18 inches wide and 12 inches deep. It throws snow up to 25 feet. It is made for residential use on concrete and asphalt surfaces, such as a driveway that parks up to 9 cars, and for 2 to 9 inches of snow at a time.
A Power Curve rotor with a rubber auger both clears the snow and propels the machine. It clears down to the pavement and handles light, moderate, heavy, fluffy and wet snow. The steel auger gearbox needs no shear pins. A chute-mounted handle turns the chute through 210 degrees, and the scraper is adjustable.
The handle folds down, and the compact design makes the machine easier to move and store. It comes with Toro's 2-Year Limited Warranty and Two-Year Guaranteed to Start Warranty (residential use only).
