Vibrant Life Stainless Steel Cat Litter Sift Scoop

I saw a few reviews talking about breaking the welds on these or the handle breaking... Are you kidding me? These scoops are tanks! I saw a local animal rescue that has been around for several decades using these. They have like 60 cats! That should say something about the quality! In my own personal use they are super duty! I have another brand that is also metal that I like too, but I need these for pine pellets. The other scoop doesn't work well with pine pellets, but this one will! Actually if you buy regular pine pellets instead of the pine pellet litter these are still a little narrow. I "tweaked" mine by bending them a little with pliers so the regular pine pellets will sift, but some of the poop will also get through when you do that. It is probably best not to bend them and just dump a few pine pellets that didn't sift. Most of them will sift OK anyway. The only way I can see someone breaking these is if they are trying to dig a hole in red clay mud in their yard! I just don't see it. I mean you got to remember, some people want to blame their own misuse on something else. Maybe they stepped on theirs or ran over it with their car? Who knows, but under "normal" litter box scooping, if you break these, your cat needs to see a vet, because he or she is pooping cement! Lol By the way, if you use this scoop with regular cat litter it will cut the time it takes to scoop in half! I take care of about 30 abandoned cats. 5 are inside my home, 7 kittens are in my shop and the rest are outside. I have 6 litter boxes in the shop and 5 in my house. I am an experienced litter scooper! 😉
