Driven by profit? These scoops are not the only things Sunspot makes and the improvement was for strength. You will be sorry you went to buy a inferior product.

I thought they had a great design, but the new design IMO looks to be a step backwards and driven by profit. I was on the waiting list, but now in search of another Scoop.
As much as people like that style of scoop, I wonder why no one is producing one.I'm not going to like any new scoop design until I see one of them with the old Miller style looped handle. In fact, I'm launching a personal protest on the matter. "Bring back the looped handle! Bring back the looped handle!"
Hey Buddy the old design has been well received and tested. I had no hesitations placing an order for the old design. I was looking for an improvement with the new design, and I do not see it? It looks like a weaker design.
Perhaps costs would have been a better term than profits.
Well you know what they say about opinions, and your's is that its an improvement, I disagree.
And since you resorted to personal attacks, I leave you this Go **** a Blender
Maybe its just me? but a Scoop is a big investment, the new design is radically different, I look forward to reading reviews of the new design.
Im going to add my 2 cents. I have a buddy who BENT his twice and broke 2 handles, once he had Chuck add those braces its been a non issue. Those braces distributes the pressure really well.... they may not look as strong but it puts the torque where it was needed not in one area on the back. The StarvR has them as well. If you try and take a huge bite with this long scoop ..... thats a lot of sand to move. Dew

Did he bend one with the little square brace in the back? The original design had no brace in the back.Im going to add my 2 cents.
