Buying a new scoop. Should I get 40" or 48" handle
I'm 6 foot 3 inches tall. I've used 40 inch handled scoops in the past, and never thought twice about it - the length seemed fine. I've got a nutall all steel (quite heavy) 40 " scoop, and a different brand aluminum scoop that I really like, but the shaft bent a bit down near the basket.
I am planning on ordering a new scoop to have shipped to Cape Cod for my two week vacation there which is coming up towards the end of July. I think I'd like to order a new Nutall scoop with fiberglass handle, but don't know if I should go for the longer handle - 48 inches.
I'd love to hear from some of you out there as to which lenght scoop you prefer and why.
THANKS!!!
Jim
