Four Paws Allen's Spring Action Scooper for Grass - Regular Dog Poop Scoops & Rakes at Linens 'n Things

It picks up the best of all the types I've tried over the past 10 plus years. Only problem is the curved handle breaks frequently. I use a torch to melt it back together and usually get a few more months use out of it, but the down side is that is a weak point in the construction. I keep hoping the makers will fix that, but if they do, maybe that will interfere with sales.

We got one of these to help with yard duty for our son's new puppy. It's easy to use and does a great job getting poops out of the grass. He is thrilled that it makes clean-up such an easy task. So far it's been durable, easy to operate and cleans with just a quick rinse of the garden hose.

I like to walk around the yard (2 acres) with a bucket in one hand and the "claw" in my other. The side with the teeth easily gets the poop out of the grass. The dogs are fascinated by this. This is a replacement...my 1st one lasted over 6 years.

Great tool for dirty job!

I purchased my house and previous owner left one behind. I began using it and was thrilled at how great of a tool it is for a not so fun chore. Easy to operate. Easy on my back. So once the old one got a crack in the handle (I didn't take the best of care with it) I had to get me another just like it. Great tool. Not real expensive. And durable enough. I am happy with this tool and its design.

I have gone through better than a dozen of these...they do the job but unfortunately they don't last...they are constantly breaking.

The one-handed Allen's Pooper scooper is a winner. One hand for the plastic bag; the other for the scooper. Our first one lasted three years - was always outdoors and exposed to wind, rain, cold, heat, etc. Finally a spring rusted through and we had to replace it. No problem. One inexpensive pooper scooper every three years is a good deal.

I love these items. You have fast shipping and the prices were cheaper than I can buy them for at Petco in Houston.

A Friend of mine lost his dog and decided not to get another one; he gave me his (scooper). At first I thought that it would not work as good as a shovel, but I was wrong. This little scooper works great; I give this item 5 stars.

I replace this allen's scooper at least twice a year. petco has replaced it a couple of times free. They also say it breaks too fast.

this is a really good scoop for a good low price.

I am ordering my third Four Paws Pooper Scooper. Mine gets plenty of use both as a Pooper Scooper and as a great tool to pick up the hundreds of large Pine cones which cover my yard. The Pooper Scooper has been left outside with no weather protection. Once a year I put a light oil on the springs to help resist rust. Both of my scoopers have lasted 5 years, then somebody not paying attention runs the car tire over it. I can honestly say the tool is very reasonably priced, is a long lasting low maintenence tool. Even I, reported owner of two hands each of which have 5 thumbs can not mess up with this tool.
Total comments: low cost, low care, long lasting and performs its intended job perfectly. The one I am ordering today should last until 2012, and then I'll be back to order again.
