Some instruments are equipped with a distribution plate. This part allows you to influence the stiffness of the broom. To do this, it is enough to move it around the body.

Broom handles can be either wooden or plastic. This issue also has its pros and cons. The wooden handle is durable, and the plastic one makes the tool lighter. The latter is easier to work with, but plastic is impractical.

There are no special rules for the operation of a plastic broom. Of course, this does not mean that a hard-wearing tool can be left outside to get wet in the rain. Wooden handles especially do not like dampness.
