FYI
I am carrying in my coat, a small impact case with vial of alcohol and
10cc syringe with needle, due to door lock tumbler icing. This option is much cheaper for me, than the small
spray lock deicer.
At the local CVS pharmacy a 10cc syringe with needle is $0.28 each, and a quart of CVS brand rubbing alcohol is $3.00......
A full 10cc shot of rubbing alcohol takes roughly one minute to deice the tumbler.
