De-icing tool


Explanation:
US and UK usage is 'de-icing' for ice removal, 'anti-icing' for ice prevention.
The reference uses 'de-icing tool' for one fitted to a remotely controlled vehicle for use on overhead lines, but I feel as a generic term, it is suitable for the hand tools illustrated in Norskpro's references.
Again as a generic, it would apply to a third-rail device, but as far as I know third rail operators use anti-ice heating or de-icing fluids.
