    Help me locate this plastic scraper / tool.

    Any idea where to purchase a plastic "scraper" similar to this one? 8" long, 11/16" wide. I bought several years ago and can't remember where I got them. No one locally has them. I've used them to help remove clips, install window tinting, scrape (w/o damaging the base surface), etc.
