Why is this tool here seriously? Aside from the horrible reach and non-leverage, I can just picture the cramps from gloved hands trying to use this thing (you’ll never use this thing without gloves unless you could have scraped it off with a credit card in the first place).

Looks like it has no leverage nor reach. With my generic one-directional scraper on a stick, I can clear my entire car of ice in about 4 minutes, so I don’t see the point of getting one of these.

This is a pointless tool. We clearanced these out after half a season two years ago, and still had a few that we gave away as gifts this year. I agree on the cheap scraper! I have one extendable scraper with a brush on one side and a scraper with a removable squeegee on the other, and a small, cheap, hard plastic scraper that I use on harder ice build-up.

I just scored three of these at the dollar store for stocking stuffers.
A plastic flower pot, 4′-5″, works well too.

I guess I have short arms because without some sort of handle I’d never reach very far across the windshield with this thing. Looks like a good concept though.

I still find that the best tool for clearing ice is your basic 99c cheapie 4-sided flat plastic scraper. One side has the metal blade, one side has the ice buster, one side has a squeegie and the short side has the wiper blade cleaner.
