Yes, it has a long handle (perfect for reaching inside my omega paw litter box without opening the top) and yes, it’s metal, so it’s durable and you can bend the scoop part to suit your needs.

BUT… It is not big enough, or deep enough (even with mild bending of the sides) to “hold” the clump of litter while shaking, etc. to remove the clean litter. This means that you can only successfully use it to scoop right off the top of the litter (if you don’t mind loosing some clean litter too). It scrapes the bottom of the box well, but again, is too shallow to scoop up (and out of the pile of litter) the clump that you scraped up.

This scoop was cheap and might work better for someone else, but I think that my plastic scoops work better and were just as cheap… Only real advantage is the long handle.

I’ve got four healthy active young cats…do the math.

I will absolutely never use anything other than a metal scooper. The are durable, cleaner, and just plain better at getting those more difficult deposits out of the litter.

This is the same litter scoop that I used for over 15 years before it finally started wearing down. The slots are a good size–easy to sift out waste without taking the litter with it.
