I used this scoop at the beach 6 times in a week and rinsed off after each use and it is rusting inside at the welds and on the support welds also. Very disappointed as I have other CKG products that I am pleased with. I would post pictures but there is not an option here to attach them.

worked great. used for a week in clearwater fl. no issues with function. used with the carbon fiber handle.

The scoop is nice. Added a little painters tape to snug up fit on the one piece carbon shaft before sliding it in and then installed included hardware.

Heavy weight! Works great!

Sturdy enough to dig into sand without flexing or warping. Holes large enough to allow sand to fall through but small enough to capture small coins and jewelry. Worth the price and paid for itself with coins and jewelry found!
