Great beach scoop. Dry sand, wet sand, shallow water.








Bad beach scoop. Only lasted 2 1/2 months. Dont buy.


Any questions?

I have same scoop. For $10 more they will rivet a stainless steel tip on for you.

Hey zigzag is the tip just for extra protection/ longevity? I would love to see a picture if you could post one. Thanks for sharing.

RTG makes a great scoop! I've put mine through some extreme wear and tear for 2 years. Here's some before and after pics, from 6-15-12 to current. I would definitely get a SS tip for it for additional longevity, the aluminum tip will wear down faster than SS as you can see from the bottom pics. I'm thinking of getting some aluminum brazing rods and try to do some repairs, I'll most like buy another new one though. Right now the bucket is being held together by zip-ties, a temporary fix that is surprisingly holding up well, but It's just a matter of time before It breaks down, the Aluminum at the bottom of the bucket is worn thin.

Agree with Scooper. RTG in Pompano makes awesome scoops.

Great folks at RTG. I enjoyed checking out their shop. Love having a local shop.
