I love the idea of a cookie scoop (and I replaced this one with one from Crate and Barrel for only $2 more that works perfectly), but within minutes of using this one the piece that attaches the handles broke off of the groove and will now the scoop will not stay together. It was extremely difficult to get the metal back on the spokes so it could continue to scoop, and then it would just pop right back out. I tried to use flower wire, tape, etc and nothing would hold it together. It is extremely poorly designed. Spend the extra $2 and get one that is durable and will actually work.
