Default Add a extra handle to your long handle scoop no welding

Aloha Members, If you got a long handle sand scoop and want to add a extra handle for leverage,with no welding,then I got the answer for you.This handle that you see on my scoop is from a weed trimmer,it works really great,I could custom adjust it to my liking and I could take it off whenever I want.
There are alot of differant styles and sizes out there,check out your local shops to see what fits your need.
Where to find used handles? You could start by looking on the side of the streets,alot of people leave them out for the trashman , I also seen a few on used ones on ebay,or you may have one of your own..
Good luck to everyone and Happy Hunting :spin::tumble:
Aloha coconut.....

Get one of these...

... and replace the mounting hardware with stainless steel. It works great.
