At first sight, the ScatShovel looks more like a spade, but it's actually designed to hold an ordinary plastic grocery bag. The end of the ScatShovel is designed to hold the bag in place, while the bag is used to scoop up dog poop.

The sales pitch behind this bright new idea is that you don't have to bend over to scoop up poop, and you don't have to deal with poopy residue on your pooper-scooper.

The company has videos demonstrating how it's done.

Seems like it might be a good idea if you have lots of poop to pick up.

What they need now is a button or lever on the handle that automatically releases the bag, so that you don't have to fuss with removing it by hand.
