I have a second one now that I use in the garden....

I bought and lost the first one in the garage somewhere so I bought another one as a replacement. I found the first one the same day as the new one arrived, which is typical for me. I could have returned it (not likely) or just left it in the garage to be used one day but upon studying it, I thought it would work well as a sturdy dirt/potting soil scoop and it for sure was!

Works Well, Comfortable To Use

We bought this to replace our previous metal litter scooper. You see, I'm not sure if there's any correlation to the vinegar that has taken up residence in Catzilla's furry little soul since the diabetic diet restrictions started, but one day the bottom third of the metal on the old one (of a different brand purchased elsewhere) fell off, the metal eaten clean through. Presumably the acid nature of what he's been dumping in the box corroded it enough to cause a break. You know, when he actually deigns to use a litter box these days. So we've been using this for 3 weeks now, both my daughter and I, who are the primary litter box scoopers. I really like the way it fits in my hands, it was comfortable and easy to grip, and I think the finger grooves are well spaced and placed. I like that the scoop is bigger, because Catzilla puts forth a might stream that creates rather large sized areas of litter that need to be removed. I also like that it's made of a solid piece of metal with a coating on the handle, because those puddles are heavy enough to break plastic scoops at the handle base (it's happened many a time before we went to metal scoopers), and I think they could do the same for any metal scooper that was two pieces joined together at the base of the handle. Now my daughter's hands are smaller, and she says this is working great for her as well and she said it with a large amount of enthusiasm. Which given how much she hates litter box scooping is saying something. So we think this is a good quality cat scooper and are pleased with it. I'm not sure any scooper can withstand long term exposure to the toxic goop he's putting out these days, but I figure if it's made it 3 weeks, it's a great sign...

DuraScoop, where have you been all my life?

Allow me to wax lyrical about the magnificence, the ergonomic simplicity, the utter perfection of the DuraScoop Jumbo Cat Litter Scooper; such a marvelous job you do. Truly, the DuraScoop is the s$@& scooper that puts all inferior, weak s$@& scoopers to shame! Those annoying pockets in the corners and on the bottom of the box, where pee and litter meet in an unholy marriage that produces brick mortar are finally a thing of the past - the foul bane of the inferior plastic scoop - my litter boxes have never been so clean! My boxes were so clean that all the cats lined up immediately to s$@& the boxes again! Two and four legged users are unanimous - DuraScoop is the absolute bomb! All kidding aside, this is a great scoop and I wish I'd found it 20 years ago. It seems very durable and it does a great job. I expect lots of use out of this baby and whenever it finally gives up the ghost, I'll happily buy another. Kudos to whoever designed this thing - you clearly based it on a multi-cat household. Well done!

Solid, Lightweight, Durable Poop Scoop

I just bought this new scoop and love it! I read the reviews before buying and, now that I have the scoop, I'm confused by some of the complaints. - Some are saying that the slots are too wide. I went to the trouble to measure them and they are 3/8-inch as are the slots on my plastic scoop. - Some said the it is heavy. While it is certainly heavier than a plastic scoop I weighed it and it only weighs 9.8oz; about as much as a potato. Unless you work in a kennel cleaning 40 litter boxes a day, it shouldn't be too onerous to use this scoop. Plus, I find that it is easier on my wrist since it doesn't bend or force me to twist my wrist to lift it from the litter like the plastic one does. - As for sharp edges: They are sharper than they could be but they are not sharp like a knife. Once I start using a scoop though, I will never touch the metal edges so I don't see that as a problem for me. Also, unless that person who complained about it cutting the edge of the litter box is hacking at the box like they are chopping wood, I don't see how this will cause much damage! Even so, The manufacturer might want to trim those edges better. - Then there's the thing about scooping all the litter out vs. just the clumps. If you are old-school and want to use a shovel to remove all the litter, fine. But then you shouldn't buy a scoop with slots and complain about the slots! Those of us who can't afford to waste the unsullied litter, sift out the clumps from clumping litter and let the rest fall through the slots back into the box. It's a good thing! I use the front corner of this scoop that doesn't have a slot to pick out the little stray bits that are too small for the slots to get. It works fine. This scoop seems durable. My cheap plastic scoop cost $5 and lasted 5 year so this had better last me 13 years. I suspect it will.

Nice scoop with comfy handle makes dirty job little less of chore.

This fall I adopted 2 little newborn kittens abandoned in house scheduled for demolition. They had not even opened up their tiny little eyes and ears. Needless to say this has been a big learning experience for me as first time kitty mommy. I started out using an all plastic scoop purchased locally. It was gross. Kitty poop stuck to it. The entire handle would bend under strain while sitting litter. I have 2 litter boxes - 1 for each kitty. I use clumping litter in both litter boxes. The task of keeping litter boxes clean and fresh is not a highlight of my day. I'm sure you can relate. The goal is to get it done quickly and easily. Who knew a different sifting scoop could make such a difference? I have been so pleased that I ordered a 2nd one to have beside each box. It makes sifting through deep litter very easy. The slots on scoop are large enough to separate out cumps efficiently. I can scrape bottom of pan and have entire box cleaned in just a couple of quick passes with scoop. The handle gives comfortable leverage to do this quickly. I was concerned about the metal scoop getting stuff stuck to it. This is not an issue. So... I am actually posting a review for the scoop that plows through poop. I suppose it really is the simple things in life that matter. LOL Anyway, I recommend this scoop for other kitty parents who are looking to play with kittens instead of litter boxes.

BUY IT ALREADY!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this scooper! I was a little hesitant at first spending over $10 on a “pooper scooper,” but boy am I glad I did! It’s a little heavy in the hands, especially when you’re used to crappy plastic scoopers (pun intended), but nothing ridiculous. You’ll get used to it no problem. Plus, I promise you, you’ll never go back! This thing is STURDY as hell! My cat pisses a lot, like A LOT, which i guess is a good thing, but it leaves me having to pick up lots of solid cement piss bricks. This scooper takes on the job with ease! Not to mention the handle is nice and long with a good grip! I use a deep top-entry litterbox and I never come directly in contact with the litter or his “presents.” Oh and one last thing: I like the grated “scoop” part as well! Dirty litter doesn’t stay stuck to it and the clean litter falls through easily! Okay anyway, that’s my review of this awesome product. You going to buy it already??

This thing will save your life...ok, not your WHOLE life, but some of it, that you can use for stuff besides scooping cat feces

I love my cats and appreciate what they bring to my life. With this in mind, I had the following revelation the other night while using the ubiquitous, but utterly inadequate classic plastic litter scoop: "Here is a job I'll be doing once or twice a day for the next roughly sixteen to twenty years of my life. I want a RADICALLY better tool for doing it so that I can eventually die having spent fewer of my remaining heartbeats scooping cat feces and clumpy urine balls into a receptacle and MORE of those heartbeats snuggling and giving my love, wisdom and attention to my lovely family, including my two awesome cats! Surely SOMEONE makes a serious tool for doing this unenviable job! I will buy this tool! I would pay as much as $30 for this tool. I will effing MAKE this tool from scratch in my shop if I have to!" Found the DuraScoop with lots of 5 star ratings, looked at the photo, read one or two reviews, and BOUGHT THAT SUCKER on PRIME for a mere $12.50 or whatever it was. It came this morning. It is a shining thing of beauty, rigid, confidence-inspiring, with a handle that asks to be gripped and grips when asked. I just got back from scooping Salem and Shade's shared litterbox in half the normal time, with total confidence about reaching the bottom of the box, and getting every part of the litter, and am now spending the heartbeats that I saved writing this five star review. I'm doing that so that you too can save some of YOUR life for doing something other than scooping cat feces.

If you've got a cat or cats, you need this scoop

Scooping out the litter box is a crappy job, but somebody's gotta do it, and it happens to be my job. This litter scoop makes that daily chore a whole lot easier. When we adopted our latest cat (after not having any for many years), I bought what I thought was a sturdy plastic litter scoop. It was not. My big ol' ball of sass neglects to pee dead center of the litter, as we've discussed and like is shown in all those kitty litter ads. My favorite feline pain-in-the-neck chooses to relieve himself in the corner of the litter box where I have to do some major excavation to get the darn near hard-as-concrete clump out. The plastic scoop bent in no time and I feared it would break. Which would really suck. I bought a metal one. It was a flimsy, thin, inadequate piece of junk. It bent and crimped the first time I tried to dig out that pee clump. To say I was irked is an understatement. Instead of wasting more money on shoddy tools, I decided to bite the bullet and try to find a good, heavy duty litter scoop, even if it cost me thirty bucks. Hey! I use the thing every day. It needs to do its job! Found it and it didn't break the bank. It was $12.99 when I bought it. I was initially skeptical even after reading the reviews. I've been using it every day since June 2017 and have discovered it's more than worth it. The scoop is wide and very sturdy, but the corners are rounded so I can reach into the corners of the litter box. Standard clay cat litter sifts right through. It's all one piece of solid metal (aluminum). The handle is padded and thick enough to hold comfortably, but not so thick it's unwieldy or you can't get a good grip on it. Definitely long enough, too. After using this one for a week or so, I bought another for my daughter and her cat. Ya know, I think I'll get one for my sister for Christmas! My only issue, which really isn't one, is the very end of the handle is rather flexible and there's a hole in it so the scoop can be hung up. I don't hang mine up. I have a little trash can near the litter box that I place it in when I'm finished using it. My thought is the hole in the handle might be kind of small for anything other than a very small nail. Don't waste your time or money with the other scoops. Buy this one.

the pooper scooper that dreams are made of...

we have two outdoor cats, wintertime in maine gets pretty cold. we have a shed attached to our house, and our two cats can come and go as they please. they have a heated cat house, heated water bowl, and a litter box. until we got this scoop, every time we cleaned it was a toss up — will the frozen litter come out ok? or will the plastic scoop break again (and yes we have always kept them indoors), sending plastic shrapnel and frozen kitty nuggets every which way. i can’t count the number of times my wife and I have played paper rock scissors to see who gets to put on the safety glasses and go clean the litter box in the freezing cold shed. enter the durascoop. the handle is solid, the scoop will NOT break. i’m not sure if it’s hollow or not, but it honestly doesn’t matter because it’s durability is amazing. this is the one to buy if you are tired of scoops breaking. the sift hole size is great, sides are tall enough, it’s not too big, it’s just perfect. i will say if you are elderly and have arthritis, the scoop is a bit heavier than your standard plastic scoops (i would guess it’s about half the weight of a small can of vegetables), so that’s something to consider. also the color you will receive is completely random. but other than that, as my good friend Olaf says: “All good things, all good things!”

The Confidence I've Been Looking For

Hacking away at the 10,000th clump of partly hardened cat urine with a plastic joke of a scoop, I asked myself: "Isn't there something better? Isn't there a pooper scooper out there that doesn't leave me fearing for my eyesight?" Whilst specks of litter ricocheted off the pan walls. 30 years, 4 cats, and countless plastic scoops later, I bought the metal Durascoop. What a relief. Why didn't I invest the money earlier and save myself the agony of praying "Lord Jesus, please let this cat turd come out in one clump, please don't let this scoop handle break off, please let me get through yet another day of poop scooping." I bought 2, they are great, the holes are just fine, don't let those bad reviews scare you off. Do yourself a favor, get this pooper scooper. P.S. You're sent a random color, I was sent 2 red ones.
