Abstract: A tool for removing ice, particularly from paved surfaces, includes a handle, a scoop, and a tine assembly. The tine assembly is joined to the scoop such that a spring-like action is generated in the tine assembly during use to facilitate breaking and removal of ice, by efficiently applying maximum force to the crystalline structure of ice. The tool may by fashioned of two assemblies, scoop and tines, or it may include a spring groove interposed between the scoop and the tine assembly to impart flexibility to the tines, thereby facilitating the spring-like action.
