Well if you have any more sweeping to do, I'm sure you'll make short work of it.

Make a splint using some duct tape and spare thin wood parts (or grab a few branches from a tree). That will tide you over until you get tired of looking at an ugly broom and buy a new broom stick.

Another one bites the dust.

what were you doing when it snapped in half?

I hope you're handling the situation well. Don't want you to fly off the handle.

I have a scar on my finger because a broom broke while I was using it. It snapped open, caught my finger and closed again. The bastard basically bit me.

That is the most ridiculous injury I have ever gotten.

a short piece of pvc the right diameter works pretty well to repair it. ask me how i know lol. what was wrong with wood handles?

You’re gonna need an even bigger broom to clean that up.

do you have some piece of round stock wood? you could use that to fix the broom stick.

Trigger's broom.

Everything is defective now, and everyone will victim blame you, for brooming too hard. But a broom has always been built to withstand a strong brooming, until the 80s or so. Every penny has been shaved, ever corner cut. Instead of carbon in the steel, they use shit. They cut the amount of steel down to the absolute minimum to sell it to you before you break it in normal operation.

Don't let anyone blame you for this, it's a conspiracy of the manufacturers that shipped all of our jobs to slave labor factories overseas in a race to the bottom.

Broom handles and especially plastic mop handles are deliberately weak designs imposed on us by big handle

Whatever you do: don't panic!

The hollow metal broom sticks are all destined for this. It just takes a variable amount of time.

If its not wooden, I'm not buying.

You broomed too hard.

well the physics behind it are part of the handle went one way and the other part went the other way.

I'm sure you know this, but you can get a new handle without replacing the whole broom. The handle screws in.

Just get a wooden handle. Or a wooden broom. Will last longer and pollute less

Now you can sweep around corners

I've got the same broom. The handle on mine rusted completely through down by the yellow connection.

I once clipped my glass shower saloon door style screen with my foundation bottle. And it fucking EXPLODED there were glass fragments everywhere. Utterly bizarre

Power sweeping.

Fuck broom handles. Get a piece of emt or gas pipe 1/2 and screw the fuck in there.

The physics of it are a mystery to me.

Basic lever principle? Give me a broom, a place to stand, and I'll snap it in half kind of thing?

Essentially, broom end on the floor, one hand on the top, other in the middle, where it will snap.

Press down towards the floor with the hand in the middle, while holding the end of the broom with the other one preventing it from getting closer to the floor, and snap, you've got a bent or snapped broom handle, depending on what it's made of.

Or don't, if you don't want to ruin the broom.

Easy to do inadvertently if you apply too much force trying to rub off something stuck to the floor, if you're not careful not to press down towards the floor with the hand closest to the ground.
