After my last beach outing with SABogan, I thought something was amiss with my sandscoop, with there being too much angle on the scoop handle. Only realised today what the issue was, a dirt great big crack down the side of the support, plus various other small cracks in the welds. Just goes to show these scoops can't handle rocky conditions, and should be relegated to sand only duties (hence the name sand scoop!).
I could try to rebend it into shape, and weld some bracing on, but once the welds are compromised they tend to let go in the same spots only after a short period of time.
Will be looking at a full stainless setup in future with welded on handle, it may be heavier, but should be more resistant to bending and resultant cracking.
Large crack down side support
Front lip pulled up with stress cracks in welds
