Ice Scraper- Cheap And Really Works

[Zee09]

I have many expensive ones and many just plain suck.
This is the Dollar Tree $1 wonder- it works great and is $1.00
It actually fits the contour of most windshields unlike many.
If it gets stolen no big deal. Worth far more.

Had serious freezing rain in Jersey last night. Could have used that. Not bad for a buck.

ace hardware used to sell one with a brass edge.. it was the best for really hard ice on window. of course you had to be careful.

costco has a really nice one for around 15$ big fluffy brush, silicone rubber "scraper" opposite, and double sided ice scraper on other end.
one side smooth one with plastic "teeth" that helps to get the ice started breaking up.

The rubber part is great for fluffy snow on the window or when they are partially frozen.

I bought a few of these brass blade ones from Amazon a while back. They do work pretty well.

yep similar to that edge but with an ergonomic handle and slightly more blade angle.

Can the plastic ones be sharpened? I must have half a dozen laying around with dull edges that don't scrape anything.

Good one Jim lol . Unless dollar tree quality has improved. The last ice scraper I bought from there split in half on the first use so I just threw it away.

How much super glue did you invest in to keep it useable?

What do you expect for $1

None except to glue your lips shut

You just threw away a Dollar Tree 2 for 1 sale.

I’m embarrassed to say I don’t own an ice scraper. Retirement has changed everything. I can remember countless pre-dawn shovel outs to get to work. Now I wait for the sun to do it’s thing and use a credit card to clean what’s left. It’s great but Father Time is always just over my shoulder while I’m doing it. There’s no free lunch.

I have 3 garages on the property.
I can't fit a car in any of them. Dummy me
When you get freezing rain it is a real hassle.

I know this pain, not quite to the same level, but Ive got 2 garages and a lift and not spot inside to park.

Its hard to describe to people.
