Modified my scoop handle

[dc426]

Personally I like this scoop. I'm sure there is better but I bought this one so I use what I have. I was needing a new handle as the old one (2nd one this year) was on it's last legs. So aside from installing a new wooden handle I added the aluminum tube from the grip to the scoop. This hopefully will do 2 things. 1) support the scoop and make it sturdier and 2) it added a nice angled grip to hold it with. This scoop is a little off balance since the handle is mounted all the way to the rear. It makes it a little squirrely to handle when it full. I also noticed that it makes a great carrying handle when you're walking around with it. I'll try it out Monday and see how it goes.

Looks good but instead of drilling a hole you should of used a clamp your pole is going to be weak at that point . I'm just saying
