Abstract: The scoop of the present invention allows the user to avoid back fatigue caused by bending and side muscle fatigue caused by the lack of free pivotal movement of an auxiliary handle. The scoop is comprised of a blade with a longer main handle attached to the blade and a shorter leverage handle having an eye bolt at one end which is attached to the eye of a second eye bolt extending through the front face of the scoop and through the first or main handle. The unit is freely pivotable in all directions and provides increased stability because the auxiliary or shorter leverage handle is hooked directly to the scooping blade.
