A decent (outside) brush

[james_tigerwoods]

This is potentially fairly left-field, but I need a decent brush - I was sweeping up outside this morning and the handle came away from the brush head - it's knackered so it's only fit for the bin. I wasn't doing anything too vigorous - I was just sweeping up leaves and some soil that was on the ground.

The annoying part is that this is the 4th brush I've broken this year - this is the second head that's come away and the handles broke/collapsed on the other two.

Now, I know that these weren't expensive brushes as I'd got them from Tesco/B&Q/Homebase, but it's costing me a fair bit in brushes.

So, does a good quality, strong, sturdy and well made brush exist - if so, where can I get one from?

Try a good local hardware shop or a industrial supply shop. Maybe even try Wickes or a builders merchant like Jewson or Travis Perkins.

Good lord, what will PH ask for advice on next? It can't get any more weird than brooms can it?

I hear there's a bloke called Trigger who can offer advice on how to make a brush last.
