    Broke several and rubber strips failed on some until I got this one. Never had a problem with it and some people still chuckle that I carry one

  • I have had an aluminium Bigmouth dustpan for years, it is big enough ro hold in place with one foot while sweeping into it with a  long  handled brush.  I drove over it with a garden tractor once but wwas able to straighten it out again and it is still ok.

    Are the long handled ones, which auto-close as you pick them up, any good for that job?

    This one plastic, but just to illustrate

    IKEA dust pan and brush for under a pound. I also use a gran shovel, great for wet leaves and prickly stuff.

    Lol.

    You will get me going on the subject of buying brooms.

    I went to buy a broom, but no one seemed to sell a complete broom. Screwfix and Toolstation had broom “kits” with a hard and a soft head, but only one handle, apparently they seem to think you would keep swapping the handle from one head to the other. They also had loose heads, but handles in packs of five.

    Call it a “Trigger” moment, I was pondering the need for a broom with four spare handles.

    Eventually I ended up with a broom head and a paint roller pole from a decorators merchants, after going to half a dozen broom vendors.

    Now I have a Wolf Garten broom, expensive but actually usable without fear of breakage.

     

     

  • i have a old metal one that the late farther inlaw made when he was a apprentice still works a treet 

  • My Garland Jumbo tidy pan is made of plastic but is quite thick and has lasted a long time, big enough to be the same width as a normal broom.7396584469?profile=RESIZE_930x
