[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 96792, member: 1695"] I currently use a fibreglass handle off a trenching shovel, same as Wolfau mentioned. Does tend to slip out of the U-bolts after a whole if used in rocky ground, but fine for wet/dry sand. I usually carry a small shifter if adjustments need to be done on the run, even after applying loctite to the mount threads. These guys do specially made scoop handles, including a lightweight carbon fibre one. [url]http://www.stealthscoop.com/prices-options.html#S30[/url] As per SABogan's scoop, mine has also developed cracks in the front welds due to the prying of rocks. Probably better off with a one piece tubular scoop if dealing with rocks, as any welds tend to become a weak point after time. [/QUOTE]
