Long-Handled Dog Waste Scooper with Folding or Fixed Handle

A squeeze handle operates a pair of jaws at the end of a long plastic shaft. Choose a folding version for storage or a fixed handle for everyday use.

Both handle styles come in several colors. The folding version has a joint partway along the shaft, while the fixed version stays straight. Check the construction as well as the color when selecting the tool.

Allow space for the jaw to open where you intend to use the scooper. If storage is tight, choose the folding version and check its packed length before ordering.

The handle operates the pickup head from above, keeping your hand away from the jaws. The folding option is useful when your walking gear shares a small cupboard or car trunk.
