10” Garden Broom Outdoor with Wooden Handle Natural Stiff Bassine Hard Bristle Broom Yard Brush Heavy Duty Outdoor Stiff Sweeping Yard Brush

Excellent broom, just what I need to sweep the front path clear if it snows. Useful to have the fixing nail provided, but it was hiding in the fold of the box. If you buy the broom make sure to shake the box to find the nail :-) Good value for money

This is an excellent 10" wide yard brush that is ideal for sweeping leaves and for cleaning Indian stone after applying a suitable bleaching agent. The brush arrived with the head separate and with a nail positioned in a pre-drilled hole in the head - this is a loose fit and can easily be removed with your fingers. After removing the nail I pushed the pre-tapered shaft into it and made a mark with a pencil to check how far the shaft had gone into the head and pulled it out again to check the depth. The taper was an excellent fit and the shaft inserted itself deep enough to be secure so I re-inserted the head and inverted the brush to tap it downward in traditional fashion to drive home the taper just a little further to make a really tight fit. I chose not to hammer the supplied nail into the brush head but installed a screw of similar size as I thought it would be a neater solution and would allow the easy removal of the head if ever required in the future. In use I found that the handle was a little shorter than my full sized yard brush and found it not to be as comfortable to use because of this, but the main problem is that the brush does not want to be pushed forwards! The angle of the handle is wrong and demands that a vertical hold be taken so that the brush can be pushed forwards - however - if the brush is used for an extended period in a "dragging backwards" action the brush soon becomes "run -in" and once the rear edge has been worn down a little it is them possible to use the brush in the pushing forwards direction as well, and this becomes progressively easier as the bristles wear down more on the back edge. This assumes that the brush is always picked-up and used in the same direction so that the rear edge of the bristles wear down ! Fortunately this is not too much of a problem as the brush head has a label on it so it is easy to make sure the brush is only used in the one direction during the "running-in" period - and after that the direction of the hold is easy to find as the brush will only want to be held in the one direction.

Nice & sturdy with firm bristles

So after reading some reviews I changed the included nail with a screw which has kept the head from moving. Lovely small head with plenty of bristles and does a good job of sweeping on slabs. Seems well made and very sturdy and was good value. Time will tell if it lasts but my impression is it's going to last .

Nice broom but very short handle. I'm 5ft1inch and it's even too short for me - no chance of husband being able to use it

Great brush, good quality and little loss of bristles in a few hours of heavy brushing and sweeping of decking and concrete crazy paving areas. Tip from me is if you are leaving this brush outdoors, brush on some wood preservative, or some fence treatment before you leave it out in the rain. It will last longer and be less susceptible to cracking in those winter months. I used some ronseal mahogony wood treatment and it looks nicer than the pale wood colour it came as. Also used some no more nails glue before putting the screw to secure the brush head to the wooden broom handle, as that also stops water building up in the head area and gives the brush head a more solid feel.

The product was packed in a flimsy box that got deformed in transit. However, the broom itself is of good quality. It comes with a nail to fix the head to the handle.

Nice sturdy brush and easy to attach the handle, we arent DIY experts so anyone can do this. Really good quality brush that works great and we like the size with a good sturdy handle. Works great . Very reasonably priced too and will probably last years, also eco friendly.
