The extra-long telescoping aluminum handle extends from 29 to 44 inches to match your height. Use the heavy-duty zinc-plated steel spade to scoop the offending mess conveniently into the steel pan. Your hands remain germ-free. Simply retract the handle back to its original height to store the spade and the scoop in your closet or pantry area. The high-quality Little Stinker Poop Scoop is easy to clean too.
