Hopkins 18841 Extendable 46" Arctic Plow with Grip Review

It's basically a 16" snow rake made out of "nerf ball" material. (NOTE: This model lacks the 'ice scraper' handle attachment, a model I also have reviewed. I own a few of both designs, and they are identical in performing the main job: clearing snow off your vehicle. The model with ice scraper is a few inches longer, due to the scraper. No big deal, IMHO. Personally, I like this model, as I use a separate, shorter ice scraper -- the scraper on the other 'Arctic Plow' model seems unwieldy to me.)

In my experience, this tool won't scratch your car, freeze or ice-up (as brooms do), or otherwise disappoint you ... with one proviso: As with another reviewer, I initially had trouble with the 'head' unscrewing from the handle after a few swipes. I then took a slip-jaw wrench and used its bite and leverage to screw the head on another click or two (yes, it does have a few clicks beyond maximum 'hand tightness'). I've never had a problem since. And believe me, there has NEVER been a quicker and more effective device for clearing snow -- even a lot of snow -- from your vehicle.

I live at 7,300 feet in the Northern Sierra mountains (above Lake Tahoe) and we get more snow here than most folks. Think 5+ feet in a bad couple of days. My daily winter driver is a Jeep Rubicon with a 5-inch lift, so the roof is way up there. With the snow rake ('Arctic Plow') extended, I can clear 2 feet of snow off the roof in under a minute, and the rest of the vehicle in another minute. Try that with a broom (I did, for years ... but never again). I do use an 8" hand-held dust brush to clear the details -- headlights, bumpers, side mirrors -- but that's just me, I clear the jeep completely even when it's still snowing.

I've bought 4 more of these Arctic Plow things as gifts for my (grown-up) kids and my wife, at $29.99 each at the local hardware store. That's how much I like it. OBTW, it has two different sides, one for pushing and one for pulling the snow off the roof, hood, etc. Both work great. As I said, I wish I had invented it!
