snow scraper fail
the scraper in the scion gave up the ghost the other day. as a minnesotan, i’m more than a little picky about my scrapers. they’re critical tools. period.
most folks don’t appreciate the utility of the teeth on the back side of a well made scraper. they’re used to score deep ice or buildup and make use of the larger scraper blade more efficient. the alternative is to use the primary blade of the scraper to wedge through the build-up. a tedious endeavor.
the designers of this scraper clearly didn’t have an appreciation for the utility of these teeth, but they’d seen other scrapers on the market with these teeth. they structured the base of the scraper in such a manner as to render these teeth useless. fail.
