Got a ton of snow on your roof? This revolutionary new tool could help.

It's called "yuki suberu" - Japanese for "snow sliding right off."

Push the forked aluminum end into a pile of snow. The white stuff turns into blocks that easily tumble down the corrugated plastic slide.

It took just 3 minutes for this man to clear 1 day's worth of snow. Women can do it too.

The Iguchis invented yuki sube-ru. 4 years ago, they moved to Gifu Prefecture's snow country.. Removing snow from the roof was hard manual labor.

"Elderly people die trying to remove snow from their roofs. We saw the statistics and decided to market our invention."

It sells online for about $200, and the Iguchis expect to sell out this year.
