I hadn't even used this ice scraper 10 times before the handle snapped off the head. The review by Wayne proves that this isn't just an occasional problem.

When I used it, the blade worked well on the side windows, but not on the windshield for removing frost. Since I don't have any experience with ice scrapers, I can't compare. The brush is really nice for removing snow and scraped off frost. But save your money and find another product, because this ice scraper is too expensive to have it break on you so easily.

I have had two of these so far. Both broke where the threaded plastic piece connects the Al tube to the head.
I replaced the broken part with a hardwood dowel and held it with epoxy and screws.
I wish they could have done a better job with the product engineering.

This is the best tool I have for removing snow from my car but need to use a plastic scraper for the ice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dont listen to those breakage stories, December 14, 2010

Using this ice scraper alone I dug my car out of the twin snow storms that hit DC in 2010. The stores were sold out of shovels and this was all I had. I used this thing to move about three tons of snow and used it to hoe ice and heavy slush out from under the car. Anyone who tells you that this thing breaks when they use it has no idea how to use tools. All tools break...if you misuse them and stress them beyond their limits. Know your limits, like everything in life. Pushing and pulling on this device is fine, but don't use the weight of your body to press down on the handle (of course the head will break off if you do this).

This thing saved my butt, twice! It now has many years of service and is in great shape. Wish they had a replacement head, though, as the scraper is getting a little scuffed up.
