Product Information
Full details
The Buffalo 18-inch heavy-duty yard broom is an essential tool for professional landscapers, builders, and serious home gardeners who need a reliable solution for cleaning large areas. Its primary benefit lies in the dual-bristle design and integrated scraper blade, which allow for efficient removal of both heavy debris and fine dust. While this broom is highly durable and resistant to rot, its wide 18-inch frame may be difficult to maneuver in tight, cluttered workshops or narrow garden paths.

FAQs
Can this broom be used indoors?
Yes, it is safe for garage and workshop floors, though it may be too aggressive for delicate indoor flooring like hardwood.
How do I replace the handle?
The unit features a standard screw-fit socket, making it compatible with most universal replacement broom handles if the original is damaged.
Does the scraper blade damage concrete?
When used correctly to scrape off surface debris, it should not damage standard concrete, but avoid excessive force on decorative pavers.
Is the foam grip waterproof?
The grip is designed for durability, but it is best to wipe it down after use in the rain to keep it clean and comfortable.
How wide is the broom head exactly?
The head measures 18 inches, providing a wide sweep path ideal for covering large surface areas quickly.
Troubleshooting
Handle becomes loose during use
Unscrew the handle and check the socket for debris, then re-tighten firmly until the threads are fully seated.
Bristles losing shape
Soak the bristle head in warm (not hot) water to soften them, reshape by hand, and allow them to air dry while hanging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply thread the handle into the screw-fit socket on the broom head until it is tight and secure. To maintain the life of your Buffalo broom, rinse the bristles thoroughly after using them in wet or muddy conditions to prevent residue buildup. Store the broom head-up or hanging in a dry location to maintain the shape of the bristles. Ensure the handle is periodically checked for tightness to keep the tool safe for heavy-duty tasks.
