Only used this once, I like the size of the scoop, it looks well made and I'm glad I bought the CKG

The sand scope is very well constructed with excellent welds. I was able to find the proper diameter handle at the local hardware store. I would recommend this item as it has served me well.

I use mine at the beach and find that it is the perfect size for my needs. It is durable and should last for a very long time. It's stainless, so it's not light (and not that heavy), but anything lighter may not have the durability that this one has. The holes seem to be the right size and I have yet to lose anything through them.
I bought an extendable fiberglass handle (made for paint roller) and love it. It was a little bit of a challenge to get it to fit properly due to the larger size of the tubing used on the scoop, but well worth it.
My buddy bought a larger scoop and it's just too big, and too heavy for my liking. He also bought a smaller round scoop and it's way too small to be effective.

Built well and very rugged. Only time will tell the true quality of this product, and I plan on using it for years.
