I've unfixed yet another yard brush.  All I need to be an up and
brushing family again are those things that fix to the head  that you
screw the handle into.   I've tried a few places and googling for the
things that fix to the head what you screw the handle into didn't
help.   Does anyone know where such things are available?

yer need a proper brush head which has a hole, into which the handle is
rammed and a small nail or screw retains it.

I used to bore all the way through the brush head and then fix the handle, I 
never understand why everybody doesn't. A bit of cascamite and a screw and 
it will never come out.

I'm a serial handle-snapper.  With me, it'd have to come out easier.

Leave out the cascamite then.

And as an added bonus you have a legitimate excuse not to sweep under 
anything!
