Sand Dipper Metal Cat Litter Scoop – Long Handle Cat Poop Scooper for Litter Box (41”), Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Kitty Litter Scoop (Mid-Adjustable)

These are the best litter scoops. The spaces are perfect for letting out unsoiled litter and holding in clumps and pieces of cat pee and poop. I had two scoops like these for years and loved them. One disappeared and one started falling apart after years of hard use. At the time I searched and searched and couldn't find them, but recently I switched from clay to lightweight litter and the scoops I was using don't work for lightweight litter. So I searched again for these wonderful scoops and found them. I ordered two (I had to stop myself from ordering more but the previous two held up for a long time).

Sturdy. Gets the small pieces in the litter box. What I was looking for. The longer handle is a big help

Iv used my Sand Dipper JR for a few weeks on multiple beach/ shelling adventures & I absolutely LOVE it! I am an adult but chose the JR because I wanted something small & easy to travel with. Iv even used it to fish shells out of a storm drain! It's durable however the branding is starting to rub off. I have also used it as kind of a walking stick/ stablizer while walking & climbing on rocks.

Either there is a part missing or there is something non-intuitive about putting the three sections together the correct way. I just figured it out while taking a break from writing this review. Here’s the deal: clearly I received a returned item that the original purchaser put together incorrectly. The product box was not sealed and wzas a bit smashed. I should have returned it on the seller’s dime at that point. I could insert one section into the other and it would slide in or out, but the latching mechanism was at the far end of the middle section down by the scoop, so it wouldn’t lock into position. Or I could insert the end where the latch was into the handle section but it would not slide in. After scratching my head for quite a while I pulled very hard on the latch thing (thinking it was going to break—it was plastic, so...). But it came off with great effort. Then with great effort I was able to slide the latch onto the handle section and then slide the middle section into the handle section and voila—the latch would close and it worked. So one star off for selling me a used and mis-assembled unit, and one star off for no clear directions other than to just slide the two pieces together and close the latch at the desired point. I had to use guesswork to figure out the entire picture and fix the mis-assembled unit. It works fine now. But come on now seller—don’t re-ship returned units unless you have thoroughly inspected it and assured that it is exactly as it should be for a customer sale. This was mickey mouse business operation in my view.UPDATE 27-Dec-2020:After fixing the problem for which the seller offered no assistance whatsoever, these scoops are invaluable (I purchased two more that arrived intact/unopened—I have three litter stations and four cats) for myself, having had multiple back surgeries. The handle (completely extended) is the right length so I don’t need to bend at all. The scoop has smaller openings than typical scoops: and that is a good thing unless you use pellets or larger than normal litter particles)—it keeps smallish bits of dried poo and pee clumps that have come apart, from falling thru. I highly recommend this product, though I am still peeved at the seller for being of no help for the “used” unit that had been assembled wrong. They blamed Amazon, but I chided them for not controlling their supply chain. They could easily instruct Amazon to either return customer returns to the seller, or else throw them away. Re-shipping a customer return risks send a customer one that is damaged or has dried cat stuff on it . Come on—wake up vendors !!!!!

Love this! Much more sturdy than even some of the adult ones that tend to twist off and are very weak.

Love this scoop! It sifts out all the small stuff.

Bought this to clean out the run of my chicken coop. It’s great quality … used it to defend myself against our rowdy rooster! It is smaller than I expected. Will be buying something a little larger to make cleaning out the chicken coop easier.

I actually use this sifter/scoop in my chicken coop. You can clean up after the chickens or I also use it to grab eggs that are tucked too far for me to reach. It is light weight but strong.
