Update International (AS-24) 24 oz Aluminum Scoop

I'm using this to scoop compressed hay cubes (horse feed); the cubes are very densely compressed and are roughly 1.5" x 1.5" x 2.5" max (some are smaller). The biggest ones especially are very hard to scoop with a standard plastic horse feed scoop, which is not really strong enough and also has a blunt edge. This scoop works very well for this purpose; it has a beveled front edge (I guess to help break up ice cubes) and a very sturdy, comfortable handle. The handle initially seemed short but I quickly got used to it. Now to sizing...the page I ordered from said the scoop was "1.75 x 4 x 2.63 inches." I realized that couldn't possibly be correct and went by what customer reviews said...which didn't turn out correctly either. The scoop I ordered is stamped (into the metal) "24 oz" and it is 10.5" long (the whole thing), 3.75" wide at the widest point of scoop (close to handle), and 3.5" wide where the scoop begins to narrow quickly to the scooping end. I think the seller is lumping reviews for all sizes of this scoop onto one page. I actually would have preferred a slightly larger scoop but this one really works fine, especially to feed just one horse, plus I expect it will last forever. I wish the seller would improve their product size descriptions--it might improve sales!

Solid, one piece design super large hand scoop/trowel, comfortable handle and weight. I've been gardening for 23 years and always wished I could find a really large (but not overly heavy and awkwardly handled) scoop like this one for scooping potting soil, compost, amendments out of bags/boxes and for mixing them, and filling pots quickly. This is just what I needed. Well made. Highly recommend.

Definitely a BIG SCOOP. I use it for cat litter and it works extremely well. Great construction, I expect it will last forever

I bought this scoop for our store ice machine, this is very good quality one. I recommend it!

love it, use it daily for large dog food mix in the evenings. About the size of a quart jar with a handle, its a great size

I bought this for occasional use (not every day like a restaurant) and am quite happy with it. It will come in handy for scooping ice out of the large coolers fill for summer activities. It seems like it will be durable & last for quite sometime. The only draw back is that the handle itself is a little small/short. I think it will be fine for my use, but if I had to use it every day or for a long time I think that might make your hand tired/sore after a while.

Big scoop and strong, not flimsy.

Bought as a coal scoop works great holds up well
