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.

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....

I've tried both the Motus offerings and broke them both.

I've had the Back Saver on my scoop since 2010, with NO problems whatsoever.

With a small basket like yours, sure, that should work ok. When you have a big heavy Stealth, it will break.

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.

I don't use lift assist handles. Couple small hops of the handle to knock the sand out an take ring out of basket.
