We’ve all been there, going out to the car early on a winter’s Monday morning and having that feeling of dread come over you as you see your car windscreen encased in snow. You then realise that you don’t have a proper ice scraper and will have to make do with a poor substitute fashioned out of a piece of card or something like that. My hands are getting numb now just thinking about it, and that is why a good ice-scraper is a must. A well designed scraper can go a long way to making the removal of ice and snow a much more tolerable task.

1. RevHeads Ice Scraper
Redheads’’ ice scraper is a best seller and well worth shelling out 8 pounds for. First of all, the plastic used to make it is of a much higher quality than the cheap type you find in the petrol station or local supermarket and will last you a lot longer. Speaking of longer, the handle of this scraper is 6 inches long and the total length is 9.5 inches, keeping your hands away from the ice. There are two main parts to this product- the chisel side and the claw side. The chisel side has been designed to bend a little when pressure is applied so that it follows the contours of your windscreen and improves the scrapers ability to remove snow/ice/ frost. For thicker pieces of ice, there is the claw side, that you can wield like a hammer and chip the ice away. The handle has a soft foam grip for comfort and to prevent blisters.
