A couple of days ago we had a pretty big winter storm here in Chicago with a nice ice storm to start it off. My truck was a solid sheet of ice underneath the frozen snow the next morning. It took me literally half an hour of scraping away plus two cans of de-icer before I could barely clear a spot big enough to see out the windshield. I've never seen such stubborn ice before. This will never happen again, because I went online and found the ultimate killer ice scraper, the Heated Ice Scraper ($15)! Just charge the cordless scraper and when you're ready, flip the switch. It instantly heats up and melts the ice away. Too bad it doesn't have a brush on the back, but it's definitely a great tool to have in your arsenal against annoying winter snow and ice!
