Coarse Sweep Length”: 18 Ideal for high frequency industrial use on smooth indoor floor surfaces. Patented Flexsweep connector acts like a shock absorber to combat the shearing stresses that break handles. Connector removes the requirement for a brace and also gives the broom a lower profile for getting around and under equipment. Synthetic fibre is oil, solvent and moisture resistant which adds to the durability of this broom. Includes an industrial quality, 1 1/8″ Flexsweep handle.
