This is one of those gadgets you never had a clue you needed.  Now that you’ve seen it though, I’d be willing to bet you’re at least curious to try it.  When windshield wiper blades start to go bad, I know at least a good portion of us, myself included, put off taking care of it as long as possible.  After all, it doesn’t rain all the time, so as long as you’re not having a run of bad weather, bad windshield wiper blades are easy to ignore.  Although, it’s probably not best to ignore the issue in the winter.

Since that is the case for many, we’ve probably all at least once experienced the joys of replacing windshield wiper blades in the pouring rain.  Well apparently there’s another way to put off replacing those blades, which is good news for the procrastinators and especially those that are excessively cheap.  Instead you can take this little kit from Japan and sharpen your windshield wiper blades.  I have no idea how well it works, but at $5, it’s definitely at least worth a try.  You can pick it up on DealExtreme.
