do any stores carry this? Didn't have any luck searching on line. I know it can be ordered from Sunspot

It works for a while. It looks very similar to the one SunSpot supplies. They aren't particularly heavy duty. I've broke two of them in less than a year. I now use the ProHandle that you can get from Home Depot (online). Even though it says it only will fit up to 1 1/4", I managed to squeeze it onto my 1 3/8 wooden handle. It's more adjustable and seems heavier duty than the others I've seen and used.

With a small basket like yours, sure, that should work ok. When you have a big heavy Stealth, it will break.I've had the Back Saver on my scoop since 2010, with NO problems whatsoever.
A couple of years now of heavy use. The handle attaching point seems like a very strong point on mine. It hasn't been an issue at all, except for having to tighten it from time to time. Same with the clamp bolts. They will loosen a bit now and then as the rubber gasket compresses. A quick twist on the wing nut(s) and you're off and running again.How long have you been using the pro handle? I looked at the two mentioned in this post and thought the pro handle had a weak link in the way the handle could be adjusted, held one with one screw.
I haven't used the ones I got yet, I just got them this week from amazon, I think they were $9. If they don't hold up I will be looking for something else, its a great idea.....even thinking of getting one for my pushbroom for my driveway and sidewalks....
