TRIXES Ice Scraper - Long Handled - Snow Frost Remover from Windows, Windshields and Windscreens

Product Information

For those looking for the best ice scraper for just a few dollars, this is your best bet. One end has a 4-inch-wide scraper for chipping ice, and the other a 7-inch brush for sweeping away snow. The SIMA expert we spoke with also recommends choosing an ice scraper with a longer reach for more versatility. “There are some that are detachable so you can use the scraper for smaller spaces (side mirrors, etc.),” they say. It has a simple, two-sided design with a scraper and snow brush, and we found it to be quite sturdy and durable in our testing. “The ice scraper has [a] great grip pad in the center that makes holding this really easy and comfortable—I felt like I was able to get a very good grip on it,” our tester says. During our testing period, this extendable ice scraper cleared our car in under 10 minutes—with no defrosting or direct sunlight—three times. “The ice scraper part is sharp so it gets the ice off with barely any extra passes over the ice; it's a one-and-done [tool],” says our tester. One end of the extendable handle features a scraper, while the other has a foam snow brush that rotates 270 degrees so you can clear hard-to-reach areas.

Trading bristles for foam, the sturdy, oversize brush removes a lot of snow with each pass, but it won’t damage the tops of vehicles. Even better, the freeze-resistant rotating brush head allows users to customize the angle to make clearing the snow easier. Need a hand? Detach the scraper from the brush to split the work between two people. The pole can extend so you can get to higher or farther places without much work,” our tester says, adding that “the handle is ergonomic with padding to help with gripping.” All in all, the ice scraper on this works great. It’s lightweight, so it was easy for us to get to the roof of the car without any hand cramping. Just take care when putting this ice scraper together — the pieces can pinch (and the manufacturer does recommend wearing gloves to assemble). The foam grip is great, too, so if you don’t have gloves on while cleaning off your car, you won’t have to touch the freezing-cold metal of the handle. There’s also a bag to store it in when not in use.One of the downsides of the winter months is the added task of scraping ice off your windscreen before you can go anywhere. Not only does it add another step to your morning routine, but it’s a pretty chilly task too. A small oval handle with a soft foam gripmakes it comfortable to hold and maneuver. As this is a handheld scraper, users swap longer reach for convenient storage, which may be preferred for smaller vehicles. Yes, snow brushes can leave tiny scratches on a vehicle’s paint. If the vehicle is dirty, the brush may push and grind that dirt into the paint. Q. Can you sharpen an ice scraper? The price tag is an exceptional value, considering how well the scraper chips away at ice and that it doubles as a snow brush. We found it affordable, versatile, and easy to store when it’s not needed. While we have no complaints, it might be on the heavier side for some.
