Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's very sturdy, and the springs have great tension to close the jaws around your dog's mess. It has teeth that help it extract mess through grass, but I found that sometimes I need to jiggle it in specific ways to completely remove the mess. This is probably more than you wanted to know, but, a few techniques I use when scooping with this device are: - when clamping around a mess, open the jaws a bit more than needed and force it to the ground - then give quick, gentle tugs up on the device to allow the springs to inch the jaw closed under the mess. - or alternatively, after forcing the jaw to the ground, twist the jaws, keeping the scooper vertical, allowing the jaws to inch their way underneath the mess With those techniques, I can scoop a decent range of mess-styles: smashed into the ground, dry and crunchy, new and glistening. That's right, I just went there. But if you're here reading this, you own a dog, or a small horse, and shouldn't be squeamish about their mess by now.
