These lightweight and versatile 3-piece handle snaps together to create a 5 ft. handle ideal for brooms, smoothers, and squeegees. The aluminum handle is lightweight providing less fatigue after long periods of use. The aluminum is anodized to prevent your hands from turning black from oxidation during use. The swaged pieces fit snugly within each other for a sturdy handle. Hard plastic threads won't wear away with use the way wood threads can. The handle fits tools needing a standard broom thread (or Acme thread) handle. Press the buttons connecting the pieces and the handle quickly breaks down into 3-piece for easy shipping and moving. When assembled the handle has a hole to easily be hung out of the way when not in use. Proudly made in the USA.
