A little daily hack that may help your days graft.
Been using it for a couple of months now and its been great. It has narked me since i started, using razor blade scrapers, fookin sharp as owt, rusty in no time, sometimes stiff or stuck, forgeting to close it up/stabbing/cutting yourself. I went on an amzon binge and created this little contraption.
1. Ehdis® Car Sticker Remover Plastic Blade Triumph 1.5" Scraper with 100 PCS Plastic Razor Blades = £11.79

2. ID Card It Premier Retractable Badge Reels for ID Card Badge Holder = £2.29

and clag a zip tie through the hole to make a hook and away you go!
Nothing groundbreaking but a nice help, always at hand for the odd bid of muck that wont come off.
Have only had to take the metal razor scraper out the van a couple of times in months.
These plastic blades are super stiff/rigid (supposed to be used to remove vinyl graphics etc) but not sharp enough to cut/bloody yourself badly and of course wont rust.
Really light, it can swing from your belt or just tuck it away, but its always at hand doesnt get in way or caught while WFP'ing.
Hope this helps and for less than £15 could save you a trip to AE and also be a "get of jail free" card if someone moans about scratches on glass when you show them what you use to remove it
