Kung? Are not these Danish liquorice treats? Quite wrong, new attempt. Ok, maybe a new martial art? Neither. No, Kungs is a Finnish manufacturer of sustainable car accessories designed specifically for the winter. But winter in Germany? That's right: this year we should expect it. Proof? Today snow fell in the Eifel! And even if the winter is still waiting elsewhere - better one is prepared, than that one stands unprepared as the ox before the forest. Because an old CD case is the wrong equipment.
For many, winter comes every year, very suddenly. The stress of everyday life allows it at times but not to deal with such necessary things, such as the winter readiness of the car. And when the first frost or even snow is pending, you are stuck. Of course it is better not to stock up on second-rate and low-quality products on the fast at the gas station, as these are often simply overpriced. A good alternative are the products of Kungs, a Finnish manufacturer of sustainable products. In the Scandinavian countries, the Finns are even market leaders.
An old CD case can do more harm than help
Auto Bild's colleagues have consistently given high marks to Kungs products. Why should not the winter accessories find their way around here? After all, it combines convincing performance with high environmental standards. Ice scrapers and whisk are made from recycled plastic - and that at 70 percent. The proportion can not be higher to ensure a good frost resistance. Last but not least, longevity and durability were high on the product concept.
The parts themselves should be well prepared for the elimination of the wintry evil that remains on the car. So the Kungs Max-IS combines a whisk with an ice scraper and represents a new, intelligent all-purpose weapon against snow and ice. It has sharp, rotatable polycarbonate scraper blades that will not impress even the grisest frost. Thanks to the 52 cm long, ergonomically shaped style, the Max-IS lies perfectly in the hand. A corresponding UV and cold resistance is achieved by the special plastic mix, so that the accessories can withstand the most extreme requirements.
Why old PET bottles can not be good?
Where does the plastic come from for the production? Kungs uses plastic, which is obtained as surplus material, processes it into granules and finally into winter accessories. The bristles of the whisk are even recyclable to 100 percent. Your production material: Old PET plastic bottles. Only they provide the necessary flexibility necessary for removing the annoying snow. But do not worry, scratches in the beautiful paint are not to be feared, as the bristles are very lubricious.
Back to the properties of the Max-IS: its 10 cm wide scraper part can be rotated and has three scraper blades that can be easily changed. The combination whisk also has a scraper blade with furrows. It is used to clean the windshield wiper. Nothing is worse than a scratched windshield that is smeared with streaks and dirt from a dirty windshield wiper. In addition to the sharp ice teeth against hard frost, the Kungs Max-IS also offers a whisk, which is suitable for all types of snow with its paint-protecting bristles. And so that everything is really right, the whisk has a three-year guarantee.
In addition to this there is also the Mid-IS ice scraper. It also offers three rotatable, innovative scraper edges and, thanks to its small size of only 25 cm, lies optimally in the hand. The ice scraper fits perfectly in the car - for example in the door shelf. In addition, it forms a good weapon against the cold resistances in thicker layers of ice. Even the sharp ice teeth of the Max-IS are prayed by the smaller Mid-IS, so there is no chance of any icing. When the three sharp blades are worn out, they can easily be changed. This also promotes sustainability: Exchange instead of throwing away is the motto. Conveniently, the smaller version also has a furrow for cleaning the wiper blades - this guarantees a good view.
