I was a dog breeder for over 12 years and tried a LOT of different poop scoopers. (Medium size breed 35-50 lbs). Separated pan and "hoe" are much better than those that are hinged. Thank goodness they didn't ruin this model with "rake" tines. Shovel-pan and hoe is the way to go! Works great in grass - even the "tough messes". Just angle the "hoe" and tap the edge of the grass around the doo to ease it into the shovel pan. The pan will usually hold around 4 to six doo-piles until it needs to be emptied into your plastic-bag-lined waste catcher. Tie the bag up at the end of the day and toss into the garbage to maintain good sanitation practices.

i ordered this item and just like "jesse e." I received the purple handle pooper scooper, not the one in the main picture Amazon has posted. It wasn't even made by Firstrax. I would return this but I am in need of a pooper scooper and I am not displeased in the product I got, just wish Amazon could do the work and post the correct pictures and info about the products they are selling.

This is a well designed tool which makes an unpleasant job easier. The price was right and it's easy to clean with a garden hose.

Is a poopy scooper just a poopy scooper? Apparently not. Over the last few years we have tried several and they lasted less than a year. Springs would brake, plastic handles would break, many would hurt your hands just using them.

I saw my neighbor using his and he never seemed to have a problem, at least the problems we were having. This scooper saves time, energy, wear and tear on yourself, and is clearly the way to go when it comes to your pet. This terrible job will seem to be a fresh breeze compared to others.

Love this scooper. When it arrived and I discovered it was plastic, I was disappointed, but now 6 months later, I like that about it. Metal gets dinged up over time and the edge no longer smooth makes pick-up more difficult. Durable plastic stays smooth on the edge and is easy to clean. Love the long handles.

Even my 14 year old feels good using this setup to clean up after her puppy. The farther away from the business the better and this keeps her at an arms length.

The dust pan part of this was cracked when I opened the package. It was not well-wrapped for shipping--just in a single layer of brown paper--so that may have been the problem, but the whole thing feels rather flimsy. I returned it for a refund and will look for a sturdier product.

I orderd this item because many here gave it good reviews.
Well, after receiving it, I was shocked! It was not like what is pictured.

On the site, it shows wooden handles with a metal shovel/spade. What I got is a really lightweight purple handle item with a plastic shovel/spade. The shovel is so light weight that it will not stand by itself. Tips over when you try to stand it up. I know this item would break it not used with extreme care. So, I contacted Amazon and requested a RMA and a prepaid return shipping label. It's going back today.

Backyard is staying clean thanks to this item. I've only had it since Christmas, but no problems whatsoever. Easy to use and it really does the job with no mess or stress!

I wish I had bought this years ago. I have my two dogs and chickens that free range in my yard. This pooper scooper has been a blessing to my bad back. I no longer have to bend over to pick up doo-doo. It's perfect for cleaning up after the chickens and I also use it for the dog's waste. I am very happy with the quality of this product.
