We have just added this New Scoop to our scoop page. This is the Nicest Stainless Scoop of this Style I have ever seen. Here are the specs for it:
<p>PIRATE STAINLESS STEEL WATER SCOOP<p>
100% Stainless Steel, both basket and handle for strength and durability<p>
All holes are 1/2 inch diameter for quick drain and recovery (dimes captured) additional holes<p>
Basket is Super size: 6 1/2 inches tall and wide, and 12 inches long.
Scoop basket is 14 gauge (.083)<p>
The top plate of the basket is thicker (3/16) to take the stresses of digging<p>
Overall height is 48 inches, Handle is 40 inches long, 1 1/4 inch diameter and 16 gauge thick<p>
Weight is approximately 5.8 lbs.<p>
All welds are 100% penetration<p>
Back/kick plate is very strong, with a stamped-in permanent non-skid surface and has built in angulation for ease of digging<p>
Handle grip is vinyl and is notched<p>
Second handle is lightweight durable plastic; and also is detachable
Support bar for strength is 1/4 x 1 gusset which is stronger than a tube gusset<p>
Highest quality material and fabrication<p>
ELECTRO-POLISHED<p>
Our scoops are electro-polished. This is a process where they go through a chemical bath(dip tanks)with an electrical current and temperature controlled. Whenever you fabricate stainless, especially welding, you should passivate(electro-polish)the stainless to restore its characteristics. The benefits are a PRISTINE FINISH,EXTRA HARDNESS,EXTRA CORROSION RESISTANCE. Most OTHER stainless scoops on the market are just painted in the weld area.<p>
