Ideal for sweeping heavier outdoor dirt and debris on rough and uneven surfaces such as asphalt and concrete. Patented Flexsweep connector acts like a shock absorber to combat the shearing stresses that break handles. The connector removes the requirement for a brace and also gives the broom a lower profile for getting around and under equipment. Synthetic fiber is oil, solvent, and moisture resistant which adds to the durability of this broom. Broom is sold assembled with an industrial quality, 1-1/8" Flexsweep handle.
