1. A tool for removing ice from a vehicle comprising: a longitudinally extending main body portion; a flexible scraper blade having a first mounting structure and a second mounting structure that is spaced from said first mounting structure; a front grip member, wherein said front grip member is positioned substantially above said flexible scraper blade, wherein said front grip member is spaced apart from and angularly oriented with respect to said main body portion such that said front grip member and said main body portion are situated in different planes; and wherein said front grip member is directly attached to a first blade support member and a second blade support member, wherein said first and second blade support members are spaced apart from said main body portion and extend downwardly from said front grip member, said first and second blade support members respectively being connected to said first and second mounting structures, whereby said flexible scraper blade is supported in cantilevered fashion relative to said front grip member so as to permit flexure of a portion of said flexible scraper blade that is between said first mounting structure and said second mounting structure so as to substantially conform with a surface that is intended to be scraped when a downward force is applied to said front grip member.
