Sabco Bulldozer Industrial Strength SAB57405

Good strong broom with a lousy rubbish handle that snaps off – I needed big brooms for 2 large garages, so I bought two of these Sabco Bulldozer brooms. Whilst at Bunnings to buy them I noticed that the brooms have these elongated plastic handles at the very end of the broom to hold onto and when using the broom on the floor, the handle bends a lot in your hand.

Within 10 minutes of using the first broom, the plastic handle snapped off . What it revealed was that the actual wooden pole of the broom is very short and the long plastic handle is making up for the length! That was the first annoying fact. The second was that there is a very hard stop in the plastic handle so you can't push the handle back on. I had an inch of usable handle hole left and that was it. Pushing that back on, it bends it's way back off within 10 strokes of the broom.

This could have been a singular malfunction on a weak handle and the broom is still usable (by a short person) with it's short wooden pole if you take the handle off. HOWEVER... I started using the 2nd broom soon after and the same thing happened. Snap goes the handle. So clearly it's not a singular issue.

The broom itself is very good but the handles are just absolute rubbish. Employed in such a manner as to save the length of wooden poles by the looks of it and cheapen the manufacture. Why else would you do it... it just makes no sense.

So it's NOT enterprise / industrial strength whatsoever, as they claim. Epic fail Sabco for not doing proper QA on this rubbish handle and tarnishing your reputation for providing it. Back they go.
