A fresh blanket of snow is a beautiful sight — unless that blanket is covering your windshield and threatening to make you late for work. Winter driving calls for antifreeze, snow tires, and possibly chains. The coldest winters may even warrant an engine block heater. The tool you’ll reach for in most cases, though, is your snow brush. Some days you’ll use it every time you start your car, so it needs to be practical and reliable. It’s important to invest in a windshield scraper that’s strong enough to chip through ice, but safe to use on glass surfaces. The brush needs to be able to sweep heavy layers of snow off your car without damaging the paint underneath. Fortunately, for those who experience regular snowfall, the market is full of snow brush options. We combed through to find five of the best in terms of price, features, and practicality. Pick one of the snow brushes on our list to make sure you’re not left out in the cold the next time it snows.
