A tool assembly for the removal of ice and snow from a surface, said tool assembly comprising:
- a handle portion;
- a head portion releasably connected to said handle portion, said head portion having two sets of opposing profiles defining thereby four separate contact surfaces;
- wherein a first of said contact surfaces defines a plurality of undulating protuberances;
- wherein a second of said contact surfaces defines a pair of flattened protuberances;
- wherein a third of said contact surfaces defines a pointed protuberance;
- and
- wherein a fourth of said contact surfaces defines a rounded protuberance.
A method of forming a tool assembly for the removal of ice and snow from a surface, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a handle portion;
- providing a head portion releasably connected to said handle portion, said head portion having two sets of opposing profiles defining thereby four separate contact surfaces;
- defining a plurality of undulating protuberances on a first of said contact surfaces;
- defining a pair of flattened protuberances on a second of said contact surfaces;
- defining a pointed protuberance on a third of said contact surfaces;
- and
- defining a rounded protuberance on a fourth of said contact surfaces.
A tool assembly for the removal of ice and snow, said tool assembly comprising:
- a handle portion;
- a head portion releasably connected to said handle portion, said head portion having a first set of opposing profiles and a second set of opposing profiles;
- wherein first set of opposing profiles includes a first surface having a plurality of undulating protuberances extending outwardly therefrom;
- wherein first set of opposing profiles includes a second surface having a pair of flattened protuberances extending outwardly therefrom;
- and
- wherein said first set of opposing profiles are defined on opposing longitudinal sides of said head portion, while said second set of opposing profiles are defined on defined on opposing lateral sides of said head portion, said opposing longitudinal sides being longer than said opposing lateral sides.
