Windshield wipers aren’t something most people think about – until they start not to work like they should and its pouring cats and dogs outside. This kit is designed for just such a purpose. Ever had to try and replace wipers in the rain/snow? Not a fun experience, and you may want to grab these up if you live in tough climates.

Well apparently there’s another way to put off replacing those blades, which is good news for the people who deal with things last minute and especially those that are, shall we say, frugal. It’s only $5, and it apparently sharpens wipers to almost like new again. It’s originally from Japan, and they work quite well, according to various sources on the web. Try them for yourself by visiting DealExtreme and grabbing your own kit.
