new broom for back yard - buying head and handle separately!

spaceboy

I was in my local Harbro Country Store today and they had Hillbrush broom heads and I was going to buy one but they only sold wooden handles with no threaded end and the Hillbrush heads are threaded! Where can I get a handle that will fit these broom heads? On the Hillbrush website this is the head I was looking at:

https://www.hillbrush.com/uk/traditional/brooms/industrial-stiff-263mm-yard-broom/

It says recommended handle is TH48/1 but I cant find one at a good price. The non-threaded handles they had were only £2

Toolstation do one which should fit

Did you ask in store why they supply heads but not matching handles? It doesn't seem a good way of selling brooms.

Brooms, heads and handles. Just can’t get this out of my head

Buy a separate socket then you can use a non-threaded handle, and will probably make it last longer.

Ask Trigger where he gets his broom spare parts.

Where would I get a socket?

They're right on that website you linked to - https://www.hillbrush.com/uk/traditional

Although I'm sure there are plenty hardware stores, garden centres etc where you can get them too.
