This is a great tool for daily kitty litter “duties”. I love the fact that I don’t have to hunch over and get the job done with the extended length of this scooper. It’s got a telescopic extention that has two lever tensioners to keep it in place… While these type of tensioners aren’t the most durable, they tend to eventually push in the poles… They work well enough if you aren’t doing some heavy-“duty” scooping. I was in doubt about the durability of this scooper, and I suspected that it might be somewhat cheap in quality, but I was wrong… The poles are nice and robust enough to do the job, though the tensioner clamps might not be the strongest for heavy scraping of the stuck contents on the bottom of the box. It does hold well though when pushing through the loose litter. The scooper end is a screw on, and I find I might have to retighten this periodically… I tightended it very tight, and it seems to be holding up OK for now.This is definitely a game changer compared to our other handheld scoops. We got rid of all the plastic ones as they are junk. The scooper end does have a front that has smaller holes and near the back of it has more of a “grill” type of sifter, which doesn’t get some of the slightly larger clumps that tend to fall through… but with careful scooping, these bits can be sifted with the front-most holes.The cleaning process isn’t the best, as I find sometimes some of the fresh loads tend to mush into the front a bit, but this is typical with all of our scoopers.At this length having a scooper like this really makes the task much easier. I find it best to get a small box and a plastic grocery bag around that small box, and the bag takes shape of the box allowing for easier scoop and dump into the bag. This has made life much easier and because of that I’m not longer daunting the daily scooping process… No problem!It’s lightweight and strong enough to do the task at hand, though my only complaints are the tensioners and the chance the scooping end might come unscrewed. Otherwise this thing is a great investment for the price!
