DurAnimals DuraScoop Original Cat Litter Scoop, Color Varies

This is the only/last scoop you will ever have to buy. It is indestructable! My previous one lasted over 20 years, through multiple cats and multiple daily scoopings. It is large enough to get even the biggest clumps and strong enough to get to the bottom of the pan without the clumps breaking. Easy to clean too. If anything hardens on the metal, just scrape it off with an old butter knife and hand wash in dish soap and water. It is also rust proof. Hands down the best tool for the job.

This is the best scoop I've used ever in the past 50 years. I currently have 5 indoor cats - some rather large at 20 lbs. All of the previous scoops used were plastic and eventually broke. Even the reinforced expensive one just broke. This has sides that hold in the clumps when you shake it. It is great for scraping the bottom of the pan. The holes are not too large so wet litter does not fall through. Good grip on the handle. The dirty litter does not stick to the scoop as it does to others. Highly recommend this scoop.

I didn't realize how large it would be in person. It's made of heavy-gauge metal, which is great except that it adds to the weight. The weight of the scooper makes it difficult for me to hold and maneuver. The handle is also too large for my small hands. The metal sides of the scoop are sharp and cut into the plastic sides and bottom of the litter pans. I like my cheap plastic ones better. I've donated this one to the animal shelter.

This thing is sturdy but that’s all I can say for it. It’s big, but so big it’s a little awkward and doesn’t fit into/out of hooded litter box openings well. But the biggest problem is the size of the slots. I have a cat that pees on the sides of the litter box meaning there are never perfectly round clumps and the clumps tend to break up. The slots on the scoop are so huge that it can’t pick up the little pieces that break off. The litter box is definitely dirtier using this scoop. It ended up being a waste of money.

I believe in “the right tool for the job.” So why did I keep telling myself I couldn’t afford this scoop? Why did I make do with flimsy plastic scoops? I have 5 cats, plus I foster for the shelter. It finally dawned on me that I scoop poop on a near-professional level, and I need the right tool. This is it! It isn’t just that it’s metal, although that’s huge. It’s shaped right. It holds the litter, and bits don’t fall out of the side. If you clean litter boxes more than once a week, do yourself a favor and spend the extra $ to get this scoop. You’re welcome.

I have 2 jumbo litter boxes and 2 jumbo cats so I wanted something that could handle large scoops of litter and large clumps. I tried two large plastic scoops before this and they both snapped under the weight. I was concerned that the metal would bend or break where the scoop meets the handle but this thing is solid with no indication of any weak spots. I have had a little sticking here and there but it has been less than with plastic scoops and it's not enough to be bothersome. I was also concerned about the size and spacing of the slots but that turned out to be fine as well. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Love this solid heavy metal scoop! The cast aluminum is rugged and can handle digging to the bottom of the pan and scooping the large clumps, no problem! Plastic scoops don't hold up to the strain. The slots are perfect for catching even the small bits. My wrists are not strong and this metal scoop makes pan cleaning so much easier. Just wish the handle was about 3" longer. Oh well, it's good enough.

The best part of this scoop is that it is metal and not flimsy at all. It does make it easier to scoop and is a lot easier, at least to me, to clean off after using. It is a pretty good size as well. The only thing I would change is adding more slits or holes to the sides of the scoop to let more litter swift through. I found that a lot of litter could be left in the scoop depending on how much was scooped up, and that could have been avoided if the holes came up the side more. Otherwise it is a great scoop!

If you have a cat, buy this litter scoop. 100% better than any plastic scoop out there, you don't have to be delicate scooping, nothing sticks to it, and you can scoop all the way to the bottom of the litter without having to worry about the handle snapping. Well worth the money.

I’m not surprised that I’m satisfied. I put it in with an order after reading about it by business insider. I was surprised when it came in a coral color. I like the color though. The size of it is greater. My other scoops had a hard time getting things when the litter would have larger clumps. It’s just more efficient. Plus, it’s a pretty heavy, strong material so it’s super efficient and easy. It’s easy to clean too. It’s definitely worth it.
