Fantastic Ice Scraper

I bought the one I have now in 1982 at a gas station in Wisconsin. It's such a superior scraper that I've been careful to make sure it transferred from disposed-of vehicle to replacement vehicle four times since then. The thin, stiff, but mildly conforming brass blade slides easily between ice and glass and does so without scratching because brass is softer than glass. Oh, yeah, it still costs $2. Important: don't use it to hack at the ice because you may deform the brass blade, after which it won't slide between ice and glass well at all.

Brass blade is the real deal. I've given these to friends and family because they are so much better than the crappy plastic ones. Brass is soft enough to not damage the glass. The blade is thin and not really sharp to the touch, but is great on ice. The plastic scrapers get dull pretty quickly and then just skip over really tough ice.

Had one of these for years and it was the best I have ever used. You just have to be careful about hitting the rubber gasket with it - it will cut. That is the reason the blade is not as wide as the blade holder.
