Swept away

Easier to transport probably. It will certainly not be for your convenience, but for the convenience of the manufacturer and seller.

Some have screw on brush heads.

Also, last time I bought a broom (relatively recently) I asked a shop assistant if they had another like the one I was holding because the head wasn't on straight. She rammed the brush head on a bit harder and straightened it. So far it has stayed on.

I guess it’s so you can select the type of head and bristle you want - a big one to sweep a stable yard, terrace, driveway or in the garden or a yacht head for tight smaller spaces. Then, when the bristles are worn, you just need replace the head.
Seems more logical - but you could always superglue the head on if you don’t think the fixings are up to the job, then dump the lot when it’s worn out.

Takes me back to the days when you bought irons, hairdryers, kettles etc hoping someone in the house could fit a plug on it because they weren't fitted on the items then. So some things have improved.

Because the broom wears out and the stick doesn’t.

Could be Sago makes sense but when I bought a rake for the garden that was attached.

One of life's quirks. I never ever thought I would be discussing "broom andles" 😀

In my experience the broom wears out before the broom handle. I would be miffed if I had, as I often have had, a perfectly good broom handle but had to by a new one because the broom itself needed replacing.

Most brooms have a screw fitting, as does the handle so all you need to do is screw the one into t'other.

Yes. I was thinking of Trigger’s wise words for this. 😂

He’d had the same broom for 30 years and only had to change the brush heads a few times. Or something like that. 🤣
