Mallory 532 Integrated Scraper Handle Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "Honestly, having had this since Nov of 2017, it's outlasted several others."
• "Even work tried to take it from me for use on the cars there, so I had to engrave my name into it."
• "I've used this for the past 8 years to clean my car(s) of ice and snow up in the north east US."
• "Two years after having this I am writing a review. The Hopkins 532 Mallory 26" Snow Brush with Foam Grip (Colors may vary) is a tank of a snow brush and scraper."
• "I've been through almost two full winters with this now and it's worked perfectly with zero issues."
• "The ice scraper is really thick and durable and the brush works just fine. I'll buy another one for my wife for sure."
• "I've had one similar to this one over 10 years ago that I bought at a truck stop in Oklahoma on my way back to Texas."
• "I purchased this for scraping the ice from windshield of my car and works perfectly."

Cons:

• "I bought this early this year. It has already shattered and has to be replaced."
• "Also they use really low quality stickers. If you try to peel off the HUGE sticker on the scraper, you will get a giant white paper /glue residue mess that’s v hard to remove."
• "I had 2 issues with this product. So far I have used it around 10-15 times1. Scrappers is glued to the handle and it came off hadle2. The few strands of fibers in the brush started to pop-out."
• "Bough 2 of these. Thought I was buying a high quality item. The scrapper side is not flat and does not scrape the ice off. Instead it take off 1/8" stipes forcing you to scrape over and over to try and clear the window."
• "Got this in December 2020. Used it twice, not even on a major ice/snow event, and today - upon trying to clean a thin layer of ice, I realized scraper/blade have totally lost its sharpness and just hardly function."
• "How difficult is it to make an ice scraper? Foam grip twists so the grip is unusable. I’ve only used it once but it’s not off to a good start."
• "I had one similar to this one over 10 years ago that I bought at a truck stop in Oklahoma on my way back to Texas."
• "Didn’t need brush yet but failed the simple task of scraping frost (not ice buildup) right out of the box."

Design

Pros:

• "The scraper end is wide the brush is soft enough that it’s not a problem with the car windows or body."
• "Nose sturdy grip even when it’s wet."
• "I like that the snow brush is thicker than other brands. Makes getting lots of snow off my cars easier."
• "The foam grip is right where it should be although it can be a bit longer down the length of the handle."
• "The bristles are soft enough to prevent scratching car paint but stuff enough to effectively brush snow off."
• "It has an ice scraper and a brush and both work nicely."
• "The brush end was long enough to reach the snow on the windshield and to clean off the light snow."
• "Very sturdy. I like that the ice scrapper isn't like a glued on piece."

Cons:

• "I expected to receive a red scraper however the one I got was blue."
• "Standard long-handled scapers, looks similar to ones I've owned before that work and hold up fairly well."
• "Ordered a red one and received a blue one. Works as described, was just expecting to receive the color pictures when I ordered it."
• "Photos show different colors with the option that we selected but they arrived with the same color."
• "This was one of the sturdiest scrapers I could find, and at a good price point."
• "This item works great! I wished the brush was not sideways to the scraper end. It's a bit weird."
• "Shouldn't the ice scrapper be aligned with the brush? The foam grip is nice but it can twist when you do not want it to twist."
• "For Chicago winters, I decided I needed to get a better ice scraper than my flimsy gas station one that barely extended my arm reach."

Performance

Pros:

• "Anyway, it does scrape the ice off quite well. Would definitely recommend."
• "These are very good snow scrapers/ brushes. Use these in the winter for scraping ice off my windshield and brushing off snow."
• "The ice scrapper end worked to scrap the ice sheet off the driver's side window and mirror."
• "I've gone through many ice scrappers. They break, too short or just didn't reach. This one is plenty long, durable and is as deluxe as you can get."
• "Good window scrapper feels sturdy. Used it a couple of times and works goood and nothing has broken."
• "Two years after having this I am writing a review. The Hopkins 532 Mallory 26" Snow Brush with Foam Grip (Colors may vary) is a tank of a snow brush and scraper."
• "It's something we don't use alot in TX. But you are glad to have it when you do."
• "I live in washington where even if it doesnt snow overnight you car can get frosty and this is super easy to use."

Cons:

• "I found that the conditions under which I need to use said product are rather disagreeable to my skins sensory receptors."
• "It doesn't work if you're in the vehicle, you actually have to be outside in the cold to use it. How irritable!"
• "I have a remote starter for 14 + years so ice/snow scrapper not a hi priority by any means but thought I would put together a winter car survival kit and a scrapper seemed like a logical item but this thing is too damn long."
• "I gave it a 4 star because I got a good product but it wasn't even remotely the one I ordered."
• "This item works great! I wished the brush was not sideways to the scraper end. It's a bit weird."
• "I got this for the winter dumps we received in DC this last year. The scrapper side was great for reaching halfway across the car and the foam handle made for easy grip."
• "Ice scraped is nothing to brag about. It's a little too lightweight to be comfortable when you use it."
• "The long handle and brush are great. Unfortunately, the blade only contacts about an inch wide section of the windshield at a time as opposed to the entire width of the scraper blade making contact."
