Scoops - Pirate or Hercules?

[The Beep Goes On]

I am thinking of getting either one of these scoops...leaning towards the Hercules...

Anyone have any input concerning either scoop?

First is the RTG 7" HERCULES STAINLESS WATER SCOOP with BALANCE HANDLE
Second is the PIRATE STAINLESS STEEL WATER SCOOP (6.5" x 12")

here is my new hercules

travis's pirate scoop is ok as well

i have coated hercules and added 2nd handle now - coated with spray on bed liner

top handle is set up for right hand digger - use as a brace also in the waves

Very nice Max. I really like what you've done with it.

Thanks and HH!

hey beep

i just realized something

i sold my hercules

the new one pictured is just the standard 6" monster - my arm likes it better

here is the hercules i sold - has old style 1" handle

That's a good point...it can take a lot of power to pull up a load of wet sand. I am not sure I can handle the 7" all day.
