Quickie Bulldozer 24-Inch Multi-Surface Push Broom, 60" Wood Handle, Green, for Outdoor/Indoor Sweeping/Cleaning

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!

Officially nicknamed "The Hulk" at my home since it's big and green and if you use it enough you will have arms like the hulk. Needed this to sweep out the 2 car garage, deck, and the occasional driveway/sidewalks. The hulk gets it done fast. Much wider than standard brooms and much tougher. The bristles started to wear after about 2 months (so far) of nightly use but it's all plastic so the fibers are just unfurling (not damaged or breaking). It's actually making it sweep better by giving it more surface area and getting into some of the outside concrete that's pockmarked. Very nice broom. The handle can be placed on either side of the head so you don't wear the bristles in once direction (makes it so it doesn't pickup, it just glides since they're all bent one way). If something ever happened to the hulk I would buy another one immediately. I don't see a head replacement until the bristles are shot (maybe a year of nightly use, at my rate) or the handle being bent. And the handle is the weakest part since it's hollow aluminum wrapped in plastic. A GREEN wooden handle would truly make this "The Hulk" and almost indestructible.

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.

This replaces an identical broom that I have finally worn out after 12+ years of heavy use. The description is incorrect though. The handle is made of steel, not wood.

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.

The broom does exactly what is says, it bulldozes everything in its path. The only grievance I have is that there are two huge holds on both the left and right edges of the broom that hold the handle of the broom once disassembled for storage. These are around two inches tall and sit on the far edges of the broom, and are not pictured in the main picture of the product. If you ever have to sweep under anything these will always get caught and make it difficult to use the broom. This is not an issue if you are sweeping a wide open floor with nothing around. But it you want to use this around furniture, shelves, or trims it is unusable. Would have been nice to have these holders more towards the center of the broom so at least the edges would be usable------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sept 2023 edit:Still using this thing after one year and it still bulldozes everything. I have no shame for the fact that I use it to clean every surface! Updating from 3 to 5 stars

We gets lots of snow here in Tahoe. Have a long wide brush is perfect for clearing snow. You get a soft smooth brush. Only use it for the car, not for anything else. Shouldn’t scratch anything you can’t buff out. You might need to be careful with the heavy snow. This gets the light snow off in seconds. Great time saver. Good for the price. Works great for sweating things too lol.
