Strong and secure—bristles are housed in a steel cap and held with a wire band, good for sweeping heavy debris. Bristles are very stiff for pushing heavy, wet, and hard-to-move debris on asphalt and rough concrete such as street pavement. They resist most acids, oil, and chemicals. Handle has a protective sleeve at its base.

Broom with steel scraper removes snow, ice, and caked on debris. Also known as a railroad track broom.
