Quickie Bulldozer 24-Inch Multi-Surface Push Broom, Size: 60 Wood Handle with Swivel Hang-up Feature. 15/16-inch Diameter Handle, Green - with Scraper

I wanted a durable push broom for multiple surfaces and this seems like a great choice and value for the money. The brush head's bristles are mixed with a layer of green softer fine bristles surrounding black coarser stiffer bristle in the center of the head. The black bristles backup and support the green more flexible bristles as you are pushing debris with the broom. Then as small fine sized debris slips through the coarser stiffer bristles, it is caught in the second layer of green bristles to clean smoother surfaces. The bristles are all synthetic material which means they will not mildew if the broom is used for wet surfaces and put down wet. That also means they can be rinsed with a hose for cleaning after cleaning for example a concrete sidewalk or driveway before using the broom on a smooth clean floor like in the kitchen. The attachment of the handle took me a little time to figure out since there are no instructions included. There is a hexagonally broached socket on a brace that keeps the handle from twisting out of the socket the handle screws into. That shield/brace needs to be removed from the head and slid onto the threaded end of the handle before the handle is tightly threaded into the head. The socket is not threaded per-se, but has a heavy lug that engages the threaded end of the handle very tightly with lots of force. The handle needs to be rotated to align the hex opening of the shield/brace with the hex fitting on the handle. The handle takes so much force to thread in, that it should be very secure even without the locking shield/brace and yet with the heavy duty scraper on the top of the brush block the extra anti-rotation security of the shield/brace is like having a belt and suspenders. This Push Broom will outlast me!

Overall this is a good product. I would buy it again. I see many people saying it’s difficult to figure out how to get the handle inserted and tight. I agree. You will find a cap at the handle base “it snaps off.” It snaps on and then you can reattach it and snap it back on. It took me a minute to figure this out. Look at the base where you insert the screw part of the handle. Snap of the triangular looking cap at the insert base for the handle. Again, It took me a minute to figure this out, but that’s what you have to do. Snap it off it’s not going to break. As far as the quality of the push broom - It works in driveways, garages etc. It will adequately push leaves fallen onto your driveway, etc.

What a surprise this broom was. First of all, it is very lightweight. The package contains the brush head and the handle, and the handle attaches to the brush easily. And it looks like, well, like a push broom. But that's where the similarity ends. This brush clears leaves, dirt, a mixture of wet dirt and wet leaves, small branches, grass clippings from the mower, wood chips (you get the idea) EFFORTLESSLY. I showed it off to my wife by sweeping some moist dirt off a rough-textured concrete driveway with one hand and a SINGLE PASS of the broom. It requires almost zero effort on a smooth surface and only a little more on a rough surface. It's too early to tall how well it is going to stand up to long-term use, but right now, I couldn't be happier.

I haven't used this broom that much so far but having put it together and examining the different parts, I believe it will be an excellent broom. I like the fact that once you screw in the broom handle to the brush part, there is a piece that secures it down so that it doesn't work its way out as you use the broom. It gives me confidence that hard work will not ruin this broom!! The connections are made of plastic and without that extra security I would not be as happy. For the price, I don't think you can get a better push broom. The brush part has lots and lots of bristles and they seem fully capable of doing some hard work too.

Okay once you figure out how to put it together - it’s fantastic! From the reviews I knew this may be a problem, so I’m here to help. When you get the broom, the handle and broom piece will be separate. There is a plastic piece on the broom piece that must come completely off the broom in order for the handle to slide in (hexagon looking thing)! That’s the trick! Once you get that piece off, you can put the handle on, and slide the plastic piece you took off over the handle of the broom and screw back on. I know that sounds confusing but not as confusing as some of these other reviews! Takes you a while to figure out if you don’t have directions - but once you get it - awesome broom!
