This little shovel is very useful. Works great for any chopped foods, wet or dry, like nuts, onions, tomatoes or whatever, just chop and scoop. For years I have been using hands or the flat of a large knife, often scraping directly from the cutting board to the pot or bowl, and food would go ALL over the place. This gets it all, captures all the bits and easily gets food where you want it. It also washes in a snap. There are no little crevices to get cruddy. The whole thing is sturdy, fits the left or right hand well and has a slightly beveled leading edge to really get everything up off the cutting board. I love this gadget!
WARNING: Do not let it leave your kitchen and end up in the workshop as happens with so many other "borrowed" tools.
Pros: Sturdy, will probably last foreve (or longer), comfotable to use, does its job well
Cons: A little awkward to store, but not a big problem
