Swedish Ice Scraper
The idea of the Swedish Ice Scraper was born on a dark and cold winter morning in 2005, when the inventor was trying to clean the windscreen of his car using a standard ice scraper. Disappointed with the ice scrapers performance, he knew it would be possible to make a better tool for scraping car windows.
Starting to think about what was important in order to make the scraping movement easier and more effective the inventor, who is a Swedish engineer and designer, found two major features were required:
- Thicker material and more "self-weight" of the ice scraper would add extra power to the scraping movement.
- Sharp edges are absolutely necessary to get an effective grip on hard ice.
A small first series were made to test the market and as response was overwhelmingly positive it was decided to go commercial. The Swedish Ice Scraper is still manufactured in the same way and has now been sold in tens of thousands all over the world. It is also a branded winter tool for prestigious carmakers, thanks to its performance and quality.
In 2019 the Swedish Ice Scraper brand was purchased by a long-standing retail partner, DriveDen (formerly NP Autoparts), who have exciting plans to grow the awareness of this great product around the world.
