Very flimsy material, one broke the first time I tried to scoop ice cream. Ok if you need to portion cookie dough or meat balls.

The material is OK but the crank that rolls is cheap. It grinds. I sent them back. They seemed like they would fall apart quickly

Hi - maybe they were not designed for scooping cookie dough. that is when they didn't stand up to the challenge - bent and not satisfactory. Very disappointing.

They are sturdy. There are not like a lightweight material. Mine go right in the sink with all my dishes and they withstand it fine. Quality is great!

i actually purchased these because i had a broken one that i purchased elsewhere. Its the same sturdy material. i havent had them that long, but they work for me for now because i do alot of different cupcakes. Theyre convvenient.

They aren't the flimsiest ones I've purchased, nor are they the sturdiest. I've had mine for a couple years & none have broken. One does "skip" when I use it on thick cookie dough, but otherwise it works fine. If you are buying these with the intent to use to scoop ice cream or thicker/tougher types of cookie doughs, I'd maybe suggest going with another brand; however, if your intent is to use for cake batters or mailable doughs, they are a good purchase for the money.

I've only used them for candy and baked confections, but they aren't flimsy; so I'd say give them a try. I've never had one tear or split, that's for sure. Hope it helps. :)

The scoop is made of the poly hard plastic. There is a metal blade on the bottom edge. This is the best $60+ bucks I have ever spent. If you have back problems this is the shovel for you. No lifting at all, just push and slide. Love, love, love it.

I had more than a dozen which I bought in a couple of different places. All of mine were cylinders in two different heights. The first three, which I bought in a local store, had scoops. The rest didn't. The ones that I bought on line did not have scoops. I don't know if color has anything to do with it, but the black ones were the ones that had scoops (also black). The white ones did not. I hope this is helpful.

This is a terrific scoop, well made but......it won't last very long if used on hard ice cream.Your best bet for a ice cream scoop is one without moving parts and very solid.

It feels solid all the way down. We have a freezer unit that we run colder than the refrigerator freezer so ice cream from the freezer unit is always much harder. I would be surprised if this scoop can break like the last one we had that broke out of the handle. I am comfortable using as much force as I need to.

I answered this question incorrectly. I asked my husband, who unpacked it, if it came with a scoop and he said yes. Sorry about that!

They are very sturdy. I use the cups to scoop the sugar or whatever it is that I am measuring. Your going to love these measuring cups. They should be the last ones you will ever need, unless you have little ones. Ha Ha

Idk...about warranty but I am tough on them too....this is my fourth scoop. It is awesome! So worth the money....still going strong after three labs every day for months now....I won't ever buy another brand...usually the claw teeth are the first to go but these are so tough and the grip is amazing....go for it!

They aren't too bad. I think they are decent I bought 2 sets to have new silverware, but in other comments about them rusting is true if you leave them wet in a sink or such.... otherwise pretty happy with themAs far as the ice cream I am not sure i always blast my ice cream in the microwave for 30 secs or so so it is a lil softer or let it sit out... + I have different spoons for that

My tin wasn't sealed but I think the plastic bag might have had twist tie? I can't remember but it wasn't sealed tight by any means. The scoop was way down in there. I thought mine was missing too but after some digging, I found it.

As for quality.....I see what S. VILLAGOMEZ says, the handle materiel ( plastic ) could be made sturdier.....however the pole and screw portion are accepting strong. Remember it's a light weight design " to be easily carried " and it is light. And I love mine. The handles work just fine but you need to exercise " finesse "

I wash by hand as well and I find no difficulty with keeping them clean and looking new. I just squeeze the handle a few times while washing to ensure I get under the scooper clean.

so far, no problems! they're very sturdy...not flimsy. i just tried to bend them..no luck! :)

They are very sturdy. As to the ice cream test, it would probably depend on how frozen the ice cream is.

The handles are hard and do not adjust but I use them either with my hands flat under the handle or I grip them. I use gloves when I garden and they are fine for me. I have a good sized hand with long fingers and have no trouble with these scoops.

I'm not sure what you mean, except these leaf scoops come two to a set. Did you only get sent one? They do work pretty good when you need to scoop up from a pile of leaves, grass, or other yard waste. I do like mine. Izzy
