Product Information
Full details
The Construction Plastic Scoop (170mm) is a reliable, heavy-duty tool designed for contractors, plasterers, and DIY enthusiasts who need a compact, resilient solution for moving small quantities of building materials. It excels at measuring and transferring plaster, water, and sand with precision, offering a high-quality build manufactured in Europe; however, its 0.7-liter capacity means it is best suited for precision tasks rather than moving large volumes of debris.

FAQs
Is this scoop dishwasher safe?
While the plastic is highly durable, it is recommended to hand wash the scoop to prevent warping or degradation from high heat and industrial detergents.
Can I use this for hot liquids?
The scoop is designed for standard construction materials at ambient temperatures. Do not use with boiling liquids as this may soften or deform the material.
What is the primary material used?
It is manufactured from a high-quality, impact-resistant polymer suitable for professional construction work.
Does the size 170mm refer to the handle or the bowl?
The 170mm refers to the width of the scoop head, which determines how much space it requires to operate within a bucket.
Where is this product manufactured?
This product is manufactured in Europe to high industrial standards.
Is the handle replaceable?
The scoop is a one-piece molded design; the handle is integrated into the structure and is not replaceable.
Troubleshooting
Dried plaster build-up on the scoop surface.
Soak the scoop briefly in warm water and gently use a soft plastic brush or sponge to loosen the material.
Surface feels rough or scratched.
Smooth the surface using a fine-grit sandpaper if minor scratches cause sticking, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This scoop requires no assembly and is ready for immediate use out of the box. It is fully compatible with standard construction buckets and mixing containers. To maintain the life of the tool, rinse the scoop immediately after use, especially when working with setting materials like plaster or cement. While the plastic is durable, avoid using metal scrapers or wire brushes on the surface to prevent gouging, which can lead to material sticking in future uses. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the plastic over time.
