18” Stiff Outdoor Garden Broom Yard Brush with Natural Bassine Hard Bristle - Wooden Long Handled Brush for Garden, Decking, Pathways and Driveways - Perfect for Commercial and Industrial Cleaning

This broom arrived promptly, but out of the box needed some manufacturing. In the box was a long handle, and a broom head, with a nail. No instructions!Now I’m not a tradesman, more of a desk jockey in real life, but I thought I’d give it a go.After an hour or two of head-scratching and trying to see where and how things fit together, I figured out that the tapered end of the handle (NOT the rounded end) goes into the hole on the top of the broom head.(Pro tip: remove the nail from the opening before inserting the handle - don’t throw it away though, you’ll need that in a minute.)Once you have inserted the tapered end into the hole, give it an extra push and twist to ensure it sits firmly.Then replace the nail into the guide hole, and using a hammer, brick, or other handy heavy hard surface, tap the end of the nail until it’s all snug in the wood.It might not seem like much, but I can assure you this is more than sturdy enough.But how does it work? Well, following my epic self-assembly I tried it a couple of ways round.You will find it more useful as a floor broom, it’s not really best suited for cobwebs and curtains (although be my guest!) and I purchased it to use outside as a yard brush. I found the pushing motion to yield better results than a pulling motion.What else can I say? Assembled, on the ground, and pushing the dirt out of my path, it is true what they say: a new broom really DOES sweep clean!No batteries required and it doesn’t even need an overnight charge!As a tool, it does its job commendably, but it also looks fantastic!No splinters, nice smooth wood, assembles nicely, and with a nice logo on the broom head.Brilliant.10/10 would recommend.Buy this broom and have your neighbours bristling with envy!

Extremely sturdy.Does the job.Nice handle easy to hold,.

I like the size. I used it to clearn the wooden bridge off leaves, and make it less slippery, also cleared up garden path, and patio. I hope to do my driveway next and make the red bricks clear of mud, it will be very useful with the wet weather we have been having in Kent. We did screw it instead of using the nail provided, so thanks to the commenter for that tip. The only thing I don't like is that the broom is quite short for a tall person. I am 5ft 8. I can manage it for my needs but sometimes things need an extra shove. it is good value, light, good width and slides over the path but still picks things up.

This broom is a good sturdy one with a great fitted wooden handle, that fits straight into the wooden broom part. It has strong bristles. My husband wanted a replacement broom as our old wooden broom (supposed strong) plastic handle holder snapped rendering it useless, so that's why we opted for a handle that fits straight into the broom part. On reading one of the other reviews my husband, who is 6ft 6in tall, was concerned that the handle wouldn't be long enough, but he says it's fine and he's very happy with it.

The actual brush surface is excellent as are the bristles. However, the broom handle had to be attached to the brush head and is only secured by a flimsy nail. It already wobbles. Would have given 5 stars otherwise.

Good quality broom. A good weight,ideal for long periods of use. Sweeps all sorts of materials with ease. Looks like it will last a long time. A constructive comment not a criticism, I personally recommend putting a wood screw through the front of the broom head into the handle for a more secure attachment as the handle wobbles just using the nail supplied. Very pleased with purchase. Thank you.

I got this delivered today (22/03/24), got this early than expected many thanks. Overall the product isbrilliant, used this down my pigeon lofts, easy to assemble too, worth the money.

This was easy to assemble, and feels robust in use. No plastic parts to snap or unscrew like many of the competitors. I've used it several times now, including some reasonably heavy work on rough surfaces, and there is no sign of any bristles falling out. The nail hole was pre-drilled, so no problems with splintering when I nailed it together.The main reason for giving 4* rather than 5 is the dimensions. While the broad brush head means you can cover large areas quicker, the handle is a little too short. Standing at approx 127 cm assembled, I have to bend a little to sweep, making it slightly uncomfortable to use for longer tasks.
