Rubbermaid also makes a hook you attach to it so it is easy to hang up where you can find it. I have one and really like it.

After you get one you will be reaching for it constantly. I have a little $3 dustpan and brush on my peg board for that little pile left after you've swept up, but that's for getting things done at a leisurely pace. With this thing I can go nuclear! My wife used to work weekends, which gave me and the kids all day to mess up the house. She would always come home in a bad mood, so I would use the last 30 minutes before she got home to grab the broom and this little wonder. Juice boxes, goldfish crackers, bottle caps, pizza crusts, candy wrappers...Heck, I would stand up on the coffee table and sweep that after I got the floor. After I hit the floors and table tops with a wet rag from the day's car washing, the place was spotless..but not sanitary. When I really wanted to earn brownie points I would run the air hose in from the garage and blast everything in sight - nicknacks, bookshelves, lampshades, toaster, dogs (watch the air pressure on that one) . It's like zero to Martha Stewart in 30 minutes! These things are great. After you get one you will be reaching for it constantly.

Well, it's actually not old. I left the [t]rusty old one with my sister in Colorado a few years ago so she'd have a shovel in her trunk in the event of a snowstorm. The current scoop shovel is about a week old. Hasn't earned the trusty or old monikers yet. I usually just use the trusty old D-handle scoop shovel.
