Anyone make their own 2 piece travel handle for their scoop ?

[madmikegolf]

I was wondering if anyone made their own 2 piece travel handle that could fit in a carry on suit case ? I've seen some on the Internet for sale but the $145 price tag just for the handle is huge turn off. I only need to come up with a two piece handle....I already have the scoop part. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I purchased hand scoop for about $35 then heated a piece of pvc pipe in the oven I could make a curve handle. Let me know if you want a picture of it. Drilled a bolted it also

Just finished mine. Got a stainless tube from ebay

I found a old alunimum Kayak paddle, one that clips apart in the middle with a push button. I cut the paddle ends off and use an adjustable hose clamp to attach to my stainless steel scoop. Used this for years, light weight and folds small enough to fit in my suitcase or backpack. Just don't crank on big stones when digging
