Abstract

A manually usable hand tool having, in preferred form, a frame of substantially rectangular closed loop configuration. Squeegee and ice scraper blades are fixed to one frame end, and a brush is fixed to an adjacent frame side. A handle is pivotally connected to the frame, and is movable between a storage position generally co-extensive with the other frame side and an extended position directed away from the closed loop frame and generally co-axial with the frame's longitudinal axis. The handle and the frame are grippable together by a user if desired upon use of the hand tool when the handle is in the storage position and, alternatively, the handle is grippable alone by a user if desired upon use of the hand tool when the handle is in the extended position.
