This week’s episode of the Made In America Store Show featured a must-have winter tool, the Scraper Cone!

The American made Scraper Cone utilizes an 18” scrape surface that contours to the curvature of your windshield! The Scraper Cone is a big hit at Made In America Stores (especially for the ladies) because of its simple design, cost, and efficiency.

On our show, we talk about the manufacturing process of the Scraper Cone, and the differences between U.S.A made products and imported products. A few months after the Scraper Cone was launched, a Chinese made, low-cost copycat variant became available on the market. The differences between the U.S.A made cone versus the imported one are astronomical (yes, we purchased both to do our own comparison!)

The original Scraper Cone has a 45-degree edge, to ensure the connection with the windshield and creating the perfect lip to remove ice, and the Chinese scraper cone is completely flat on the edge. But that’s not all, the imported cone is made with stiff plastic, making it susceptible to cracking in cold weather. We cannot stress how important it is to make sure you're checking the labels on products you plan to purchase. When in doubt about shopping online, just ask! Email the company or contact them through their social media pages. And as always, our products our 100% made in America, guaranteed!
