As the temperatures drop bringing snow and ice with them we get gorgeous snowy days...along with vehicles covered in the stuff. Before you can hop in the car to head for dinner at Grandma's house, you'll need a proper ice scraper to get rid of that ice. While there are several varieties of ice scrapers they all do the same job, so it's important to find the option that works best for you and your car! Garage-less and remote start-less vehicles will benefit from these liberating devices, so we've collected the best all-business options out there.
Hopkins Mallory 26-inch snow brush and scraper
Scraper and brush combo with a plush foam grip
Shave ice and sweep away snow with gusto, wielding this 26-inch, double-headed brush and scraper tool. The convenient multi-purpose device is styled to maximize removal opportunities, featuring a 4-inch flat-edged scraper and a lengthy 8-inch brush. Its sturdy wand-style design offers reach and leverage, withstanding high-impact blows as well as gentle swipes. Comfort is also crucial, and this option features a ridged, cushioned grip for easy handling.
AstroAI 27-inch snow brush and detachable ice scraper
Separates into two tools with one click
This 27-inch ice and snow-dispatching combo tool features both an ice scraper and brush, but it has a special trick. It can be disassembled and used as two separate devices with a simple button push. So, it's possible to tailor this option to every weather event. Both tools are constructed from rugged ABS plastic, perfect for withstanding stuck-on ice and inches-upon-inches of snow. The 7-inch brush covers a generous surface area, easily clearing the way on windshields and rooftops, while the just over 4-inch scraper has an effective ice-smashing blade and a comfy grip to minimize strain. Use these tools together or apart to free any vehicle from the polar aftermath.
Snow Joe 4-in-1 telescoping snow broom and ice scraper
Adjustable long-handled style with a scraper and broom
Shear away ice sheets and give snow accumulation a nudge with this scraper and broom tool. The double-sided design features an 18-inch rectangular foam head (for pushing snow seamlessly without damage) and an ice scraper (for chipping away Jack Frost's handiwork). The broom end features two bright LED lights for dusk and nighttime snow removal. (The flashlight feature even has an emergency setting during roadside situations.) The best part? Nothing is out of reach thanks to the adjustable telescoping handle, providing 33 to 52 inches to accommodate any size job and vehicle.
RevHeads ice scraper
9.5-inches of ice-removing power with a flat blade and teeth
The RevHeads scraper blasts ice sheets to shards with every unwavering swipe. Its windshield-contouring blade simply tackles frosty finishes without faltering. The over 9-inch tool's ultimate strength lies in its robust build, taking on even the toughest frozen matter with an alternate jagged, toothy attachment. Ice removal requires a little effort, and though this scraper is unrelenting, it keeps hands comfortable with a foam grip.
Hopkins Subzero Ice Crusher ice scraper
11-inch dual-ended scraper tool with a cushy grip
Simply demolish ice and frost with this handy double-edged scraper. Featuring two ice-removing blades, this tool is dialed into the ice situation. It features a substantial blade at one end and a smaller (more precise) jagged chipper at the other (for extra oomph). The scraper stretches a total of 11 inches and features a cushioned grip at the center for added comfort. Show those weather-related hazards what's up with this must-have ice removal system.
BETTER STUFF The Better handheld ice scraper
Handle-free design with two scraping edges
Different from its ice-handling brethren, this innovative palm-ready scraper is handleless. Who needs it anyway? This tool does a great job without it. The arched design and flexible Shape-Shifting construction pay close attention to every windshield's unique curvature for close contact and effortless ice removal. Its easy-to-grip design features both a solid brass blade and an integrated toothy edge that pass across the glass simultaneously for double the coverage. And, as a bonus, its petite profile is easy to stow.
