Nothing wakes you up on a brisk winter morning like sliding halfway down an icy driveway. Here's a list of our favorite gear for clearing a driveway

Yaktrax Walk is an awesome, easy traction device to keep both your feet on the ground. Just slip them over your boots, and the steel coils bite into packed snow or ice. And then just pull them off once your at your door or car.

Wovel Snow Wolf uses an ingenious design that uses leverage to chuck snow out of your drive or walkway. And doesn't use gas or electricity like a snow blower. And it costs less than a single visit to the chiropractor. 

Safe Paw Ice Melter won't hurt your pets or destroy your grass or concrete drive. It's twice as effective as salt per volume. And the time-release formula will prevent ice from forming for three days. 

 X15 Flamethrower comes fully assembled, unlike the one I made from a super-soaker in high school. And, unlike the one I made in high school, the 20oz tank will deice your driveway without exploding napalm all over mom's petunias.
