That's a great simple scoop design. Really easy to assemble.

I know the guy personally and have seen the scoop in action. This scoop is only good for light use. It will not stand up to hard use.

e-train,

Not all of Hawaii's beaches has this kind of sand. The area i detect is hard pack sand and coral.

i know what you mean and cupajo has the best one on this site but not everybody has the machines to bend and shape metal

No it's easy. Now I know cupajo's is the best.......but! If you'll got to costco, buy a 3 lb can of Kirkland coffee, pull the top off. Look at that ring around the top! Hot dawg, heh? Now turn the can upside down and take a can opener to it and take off the lid. Look down in there..........get any ideas? Hell yes. You can slide a piece of Plumbers Cloth down the snout and it can't come out the bottom 'cause of the ring !
Ok, it ain't as good as cupajo's but it's the next best thing. Mine works just fine. All you gotta do is come up with a handle. AND you get to drink all that great Coffee! Even cup-a-jo gotta like that. Other brands may be Ok, All I saw was the Kirkland can was all STEEL, and very rigid. MY kinda project, easy, minimal parts, just a few tools, and don't gotta think much . Hell yes it's a winner
