DISPLAY - KUNGS has not only been our partner in the field of ice scrapers and winter driving tips for several years, no, KUNGS is also the Scandinavian market leader in winter car accessories. KUNGS belongs to the Finnish Sinituote Group, one of the leading manufacturers of home and car care products.
Today we would like to introduce you to three great products from KUNGS and, by the way, give you a few tips & tricks for the winter time on the way.
Motorists who have the new Star-IS on board this winter will no longer have to worry about a sudden onset of winter and unforeseen snow and ice surprises. Because the new, innovative whisk ice scrapers
What makes the KUNGS Star-IS so special? The special (brush) head with an integrated rubber lip! This head is flexible and rotatable at the same time. Depending on the snow conditions and the user's scratching mood, the head can easily be brought into two different positions: vertical or T-shaped!
Brand new is the integrated rubber puller, which can easily remove loose snow, snow cover or even wet residue.
Thanks to the stable and above all steplessly adjustable telescopic rod, the KUNGS Star-IS ice scraper will additionally convince in both settings with its extremely long reach of 82-114 cm in the T-shape and 93 -125 cm in the vertical position. Above all, car owners of larger vehicles such as SUVs, high-roofs or Vans will definitely appreciate the length.
A good view is even more important in winter!
Experienced drivers will smile now, but still it makes sense to refresh every now and then again. A careful and considerate driving style is part of the basic training of each license holder. In the freezing winter, however, you need an extra dose of patience and sensitivity. If the car goes into skidding due to lack of grip, it is already too late for targeted corrections. The braking distance is considerably extended when driving in winter and to top it all, the vehicle still leaves its lane with a bit of bad luck. During braking, most assistance systems no longer help, which were previously responsible for rapid propulsion. If the vehicle slips, it is usually too late.
Avoidable accidents are often due to a lack of awareness of a possible danger situation. Therefore, always pay attention to the weather forecast, keep an eye on the temperatures and take note of the warning signs in good time. Cold winter frost or an icy gust will suffice during the day, even without a strong onset of winter, to turn moist soil into a dangerous pavement. This happens especially in the area of forests, meadows or bridges. This danger is not always recognizable to the eye. Above all, rain at lunchtime at temperatures close to freezing is a clear harbinger of smooth roads in the coming evening hours. An inspection of the ground condition can help to assess risks even before you start driving. A careful braking maneuver in front of the front door also provides important information.
In active traffic, a significantly greater distance to the car on the road must be maintained. Heavily compressed snow creates a similar danger situation to black ice.
Take a gas out! Too much time pressure on wintry asphalt is one of the biggest causes of accidents in road traffic. So that you have a good view of everything, you have to scrape the windows well and remove snow. For this, the Star-IS from Kungs offers the flexible brush head which is supposed to free the vehicle of all types of snow effectively and gently.
And, of course, on the other side is the typical KUNGS ice scraper with the sharp ice teeth and the rotating scraper blade made of hard polycarbonate.
It is really good, we have been using it for over three years. The Star-IS ice scraper from Kungs is available for 21,90 Euro in well-stocked specialist shops.
You don't need a telescopic pole? Then the new MONSTER-IS may be something for you. With this extremely robust ice scraper you can scrape even the strongest ice surfaces of the disc. The handling is simple: the ergonomically shaped handle (T-shaped end) is covered with both hands. That saves time and effort.
29 cm long, cannot be overlooked and “monster strong” against ice and poor visibility. The RRP is 5,90 euros and you should probably invest that at least for a good view.
Peepholes are prohibited!
There are no excuses for frozen windows. These have to be completely scratched free. Special windshield covers prevent the formation of ice overnight, but the side windows and rear window must also be thoroughly cleared of ice and snow.
Important: Small viewing holes do not meet the requirements of traffic safety. On top of that, a small traffic ticket can beckon if you get caught by the police with only insufficiently gutted windows. In addition to the small ice scraper, we recommend you also get a model with a broom, because you should also remove the snow masses from the roof and from the bonnet. Otherwise they can become independent and block your view or irritate other road users.
An ideal compromise? The TELE-IS!
Not too short and not too long! The TELE-IS by KUNGS combines whisk and ice scraper and also offers a telescopic telescopic pole. With a simple movement, the 77 centimeter long telescopic handle can be extended to 105 centimeters. The TELE-IS ice cream dispenser also has a ten centimeter wide scraper blade, which you can turn according to your taste. The MSRP is 16,90 Euro and this ice scraper is also available in well-stocked specialist shops, there are many other KUNGS products that you can definitely take a look at.
