Expandable snow tools for vehicles

摘要

A telescoping snow tool can be conveniently retracted for compact storage in vehicles and can be easily extended for use in shoveling and removing snow or ice. The comfortable telescoping snow tool can have an outer composite shaft with a manually grippable, thermally insulating sleeve that encloses a tubular metal core into which slides an inner shaft. The inner shaft can comprise a metal tube with a protective coating. The telescoping snow tool can have a handgrip and a blade, such as a lightweight plastic snow shovel blade.
