The original Dustless Brush also contained an external, adjustable hinge to where the handle attached. The adjustable swivel socket allows for positioning the handle at many different angles; it can also be used as an upright broom. Today, the wood back has been replaced by a steel backing that is placed over a narrow, hard plastic brush block and crimped permanently onto the block. Steel rivets are inserted the entire block to secure the adjustable swivel socket. The end result is a thin profile, lightweight broom head, on a block that will not crack or split. The ergonomic head-handle combination is adjustable to suit the user's height. The handle-head combination can be reversed to keep bristles in shape for longer wear.
Milwaukee Dustless Brush now manufactures many styles of steel-backed floor brushes. The same attention to quality construction can be found in our entire line of cleaning tools. Metal-capped upright brooms and floor squeegees with bolt-in handle sockets are just two examples of the outstanding features of this product line which received a gold medal at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. The original dustless brush was succeeded by Speed Sweep® brushes when improved floor surfaces and changes in sweeping requirements became widespread.
