The 10 Best Ice Scrapers

The Hopkins Sub Zero Quick Lock (around $21) is a 3-in-1 comprehensive solution to your winter weather troubles. The extension pole adjusts quickly and stays in place, and the broom end includes a squeegee for quickly cleaning your windshield.

With a distinctive 90-degree tilting head, the Oxo Good Grips Twister (about $20) can move large amounts of snow in any direction. The scraper and brush are on the same end of the pole, making it simple to switch back and forth between the two functions.

Despite its small size, the Hopkins Subzero Ice Crusher (about $8) stands up to tough winter challenges, with a separate chipper claw on one end, so you don't have to worry about marring the smooth four-and-a-half-inch scraping edge on the other.

For those who work to keep the finish on their vehicles pristine, the True Temper Scratch-Free (appx. $21) uses an innovative EVA foam brush that will remove the white stuff without messing up your paint job. It doesn't get caked in snow, like bristles do.

The versatile Matcc Detachable (around $25) keeps two essential winter tools together so they don't get lost, which also gives you a generous length to get at hard-to-reach areas. You can separate them for better control, though, or so two people can clear the car at once.

Even when you're bundled up, you'll probably appreciate the warmth provided by the Wild Cow Quilted Mitt (around $10) thanks to a waterproof outer fabric and toasty fleece lining. It's a great choice for anyone who often forgets to wear gloves.

If you regularly get large snowfalls you can clear them away quickly with the Snow Joe Illum-n-Broom (about $15). Its dual LEDs make nighttime auto clearing both easier and safer, and it's got a blinker function that will keep you visible in emergency conditions.

For little more than the cheap plastic options available, the Snow Joe Edge (about $5) provides a superior durable brass blade that cuts through frost without scratching your windshield, plus it's compact enough to fit in the glove compartment.

The Mallory Ultra Maxx (appx. $9) offers a brush on a curved pole that helps with hard-to-reach places, especially on larger vehicles. The scraper is sturdy and a good width, but some find the broom end makes it awkward to hold at the right angle.

These Desired Tools Premium (around $17) don't offer much in the way of frills, but the price for a two-pack is relatively low and they're stout enough to last several seasons. The blade on each is only about 3.5 inches wide, though, so don't expect to be done quickly.
