Mr. Plow Posted January 25 Posted January 25 My wife wanted to stop at the local thrift store.....(not my thing unless you happen upon some Ertl toys, etc). Well in the back corner, this was hanging on a hook for $8. Heavy AL scoop ( not the cheap thin ones you get now), good handle, but loose. Brought it home, squeezed the handle rivets in the vice to snug the up, and I'm golden. Totally worth $8!!!!! 20 1 Quote
Sledgehammer Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Good score for sure. The old aluminum scoops are 10x the quality of the new ones. 5 Quote

tractorholic Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Most people don’t know what that is for! Probably why you got such a deal! 1 Quote
Drysleeves Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Looks like a 12 Chineseium versions of today are definitely inferior. 1 Quote
stronger800 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I think they were about $80, 10+ years ago. Nice find Quote
IH Forever Posted January 26 Posted January 26 We have a guy that comes around and sells brooms, scoops, etc. Good quality stuff, better than you find at the local farm store. We just bought 2 14x30, $52 each. So I'd say you did very well at $8. https://www.krivjansupply.com/product-page/14-x-30-bully-scoop-shovel Quote

Sledgehammer Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I have dressed them with a band saw or belt sander when they wear at the corners. Used them more for snow than anything growing up. 3 Quote

Used them more for snow than anything growing up. I usually let them wear until the corners get "hooks" then clip the hooks and dress them. The old ones wear really well.....the new ones, not so much. 3 Quote
