After 6 months of heavy use digging the wet sand of Florida's east coast I had to get my scoop handle reinforced.
Where the handle met the reinforcing truss about 4 inches above the bucket I was getting a stress fracture in the handle.
The welder/manufacturer did a nice reinforcing job adding a long support from bucket to handle and splicing a patch over the stress crack area.
Here's some before and after pics.
Have to keep your bucket stiff you know.
