Make life easier with this combo broom and dustpan set. The handle of the boom is 52 feet long so you don’t need to bust your back when sweeping the floors and it’s also long enough to tackle dust webs or high up spaces. A great feature of this broom is that when you’re not using it, you simply clip the broom to the dustpan for compact storage.  The dustpan also has added teeth to comb out the dirt from the soft bristles of the broom so that you’re not pushing dirt all around the floor.
