Review on Convenient & Sanitary Pooper Scooper Disposal System by PETMAKER - With Jaw Clamp, Long Handle, Suitable for Large & Small Dogs on Grass & Concrete by Amanda Gardner

Springs and handle tension take a little more than most shovels. This is due to the 3 spring configuration for closing the clam shell and not just one or two like cheaper (or cheaply built) units. It takes some time to get used to the effort of overcoming the springs. However, this provides a better "hold"; and the quality of spring materials is very good; The feathers are thicker than anything I've seen before. With aluminum center bar components and stiffer plastics, I expect years of service and I have no doubt I will see this. Good product.
