Where can I find one of these:



?

The one I had was a Blue Point; handle ~10" long, blade ~3.5 to 4" wide... strong, wooden handle with the scraper sandwiched all the way through. Had it for flippin' years and now it's missing. It's one of those tools that only you seem to know its true worth... No Snap-On van can find one (originally bought from one in the mid-90s). Have tried hardware stores, paint shops... fleabay... The pic above is from an American site...

Surely there must somewhere selling them in the UK...?

I imagined a scaper to be some kind of jolly Bunterish prank...

when you park outside leave the keys to the van in the ignition, you won't be needing them

Thanks, but that is a regular-sized scraper. The one I'm looking for has about a 10-inch handle
