明尼苏达州的产品是从车道上刮冰的诀窍

在3月和4月的温暖日,明尼苏达尼斯的思想转向冰块。

钻石湖五金公司(Diamond Lake Hardware)的老板戴夫·斯沃博德尼(Dave Svobodny)说:“想看看春天的人都知道,天气暖和了,冰上的冰就会变软,所以他们就会刮到阴凉的地方和车道上硬化的轮胎印。”

近20年来,Svobodny销售了一个冰拆除工具,他称之为“我们销售的最好的工具”。最终的刮刀不喜欢,但一些本地硬件商店运营商和商业雪和冰拆卸承包商不会没有它。

明尼阿波利斯Snowpros商业除雪公司的老板安德烈·布拉尼茨基(Andrei Branitski)在一次贸易展上测试了这些刮雪机后,买了几百台。

明尼苏达州污染控制署喜欢这种方法,因为它可以减少对环境有害的除冰化合物。

“这是一个很好的刮刀,”MPCA的氯项目负责人布鲁克·阿斯拉森(Brooke Asleson)说。“明尼苏达人可以让湖泊和溪流实行低盐饮食,试试用刮刀或铲子代替。”

这种柔软的钢刀片是由北达科他州大福克斯(Grand Forks)的戴夫·杨(Dave Young)发明的,用于清除行人和车辆路上压实的冰雪。

但年轻的兴趣在发明和创新方面,而不是营销。他的侄子,布莱恩的保罗麦克风,认为冰刮刀需要与更广泛的受众共享。

“我以为所有的刮刀都是相似的,直到我搬到城市并开始使用其他人,”他说。“我的叔叔的设计可以通过没有碎冰的冰块切碎或卷曲,刀片足够薄,以便在表面下方松开和分开。”

McNamee在他的岳父之后向他的叔叔询问了他的岳父,这是一个画家,这么认为他提供了在区域五金店的联系中。

刮刀在大叉子中制造。然后将组件组装和粉末涂覆在Bemidji的职业发育中心,这是一种雇用残疾人的非营利组织。

甚至在20年后,终极刮板仍然是一个谦逊的工具,主要在明尼苏达州和贸易。家得宝(Home Depot)、美乐(Menards)或劳氏(Lowe 's)没有这种产品,但在美国10个州都有销售。

由于柔性刀片不是不锈钢的,用户每次使用后都要擦干,否则会生锈。McNamee说,可以更换刀片,但不是必需的。

“你用它的时候,它会自己磨快,”他说。“如果你想要,你可以多买一把刀片,但在你需要它之前,你可能会把它放错地方。”

麦克纳米说,当冰雪融化时,刮刀也能很好地去除旧的瓷砖、瓦片和干墙泥。

20年来,他已经出售了大约75,000个单位,但卖刮刀仍然是喧嚣的。他还在明尼阿波利斯湖街街资本市场的首席财务官,在布莱恩的一家冷石奶油冰淇淋店的共同主人。

“冰淇淋或冰刮刀,他们是一个很好的对冲,”他说。

这款“终极刮刀”售价40美元,在70多个地方有售,比如精选的Ace Hardware和Fastenal商店,也可以在UltimateScraper.com上买到。
