Update International (AS-58) 58 oz Aluminum Scoop

Perfect size for scooping pellets into my Solo Mesa XL tabletop firepit.

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!

good except handle to short

Quality workmanship

Sturdy (cast) construction, should last a long time....

handle needs an extra 1.5 inches, too short to hold

We use these for materials testing of souls and concrete and have had no issues. They work well for intended use. Pretty Standard design, but light weight which was preferable for us.

I used it to scoop rock salt for my driveway. Works fine for that purpose
