A good pickup tool. I got it to do a highway cleanup job (litter and bottles). Don't take on a stretch of littered highway without this or something similar. I have had several styles. This one holds up quite well. The hand grip is comfortable and the jaws are adequate to pick up sheets of paper as well as full bottles of Soda or whatever you may find just off the pavement. This one is solid and will do the job and "they all wear out" no matter what they are made of.
