Dogs are really great — man's best friend and all that — but unless you live in the wilderness and let your dog run wild and poop where he pleases, there's always that unpleasant business about cleaning up after him. Nobody likes that.

Well, now there's a solution. The Swoop Scooper will reach down, scoop up that pesky fecal matter, and bag it up for you for easy disposal without your hand ever getting near it. Sure, it's kind of expensive, and the replacement bag packs are also really pricey, but can you put a price on not getting your hand near dog poop? Yeah, I didn't think so. — Adam Frucci
