I kinda used your trick. However, I couldn't find my 7/8th inch paddle bit so I opted for a 5/8th. which merely drilled enough of the inside of the male threads out so that the remainder of the threads fell out leaving the female threads. I then screwed a different extension handle into the broom. now if that breaks off I can still drill out the rest and use your method but the paddle bit was the part of the idea I needed. Thanks Jeff!
I found the besrt fix is taking a small straight screwdriver and hammering it through the bottom of the broken handle stuck in the broom or scrubber then just turning it out
Broke mine over the weekend, almost threw it away. Glad i saw your video!
Been staring at a busted broom for a month! Thank you!
Just did this to mine. Annoyed with myself for not thinking of it sooner. Feels strong. Thanks.

My broom head is wood. I imagine the same technique would work on wood?
how can you push the handle in? there is no thread left. Did you expand the hole size with that paddle bit?
Yes. Use the boring bit so the handle will fit. Add some gorilla glue to help the screws hold.
thank you Jeff for sharing this it really helped me.
haha. only two drywall screws. holding up strong?
still holding together after 2 years
Very useful, Thanks!
Thank you!
word
hope it works for you
