Plastic broom handles: not ideal weapons  

And that’s why you get an old broom with a fully wooden handle. That way if it breaks, now you can shank them!

That's why I buy tungsten broom handles wrapped with carbon weave handles

Fill it with cement.

*my broom with an oak handle:* but i *am* a staff

It maybe plastic but with a good swing in a life and death situation, someone is gonna be crying.

I got a metal broom handle, it works pretty well against people actually

pls send to every company that includes "if you need to hide from the shooter and can't lock the door... defend yourself" in their training

I FEEL WAY TOO CALLED OUT RIGHT HERE I DO THIS NOT ONLY WITH BROOMS BUT ALSO LITERALLY ANYTHING LIKE IT. AAAHHHHHHH

What about wooden broom handles?

Me with my wooden stick:

Decent for siblings, ex-friends, and people not looking to fight to the death

That's why you buy/use wooden broom handles.

Fable 2 legendary weapon review? I know I'm the only one asking, but I'm persistent!

As long as you don't hit anything can teach you the basics movements of many different types of weapons, are light cheap and plenty, and still you could make a cut like a syringe needle an use to poke "something". Are you sure are all plastic? the ones I know are aluminum tube (very thin) covered in plastic.

A lot of us have probably taken a broom handle and, shoved it u-

I love your weapons testing videos, I'm interested in seeing more about improvised weapons

I have a broom handle that's actually an inch thick and made out of a very sturdy wood. It could work as a staff if it wasn't because it's to heavy to do too much movement with it.

When im holding plastic, I think "now this is a weapon"

I have a long cast iron bar but it's hollow so I dont think it would be as affective as I'd like. Was a support bar for the canopy of a bed that we have lost the frame to.

Me having wooden brooms: "Pathetic"

pretty much anything like this is a bad consistent weapon, but a really good "make this specific thing get away from me right now" weapon

Ah I miss the old solid wooden boom handles.

This my friend is one reason why I made myself a hearth broom.

Fill it with cement

And that’s why I use curtain poles or pvc instead

That's why you get the good old wooden broom handle

That's why you always go for the wooden broom handles.

You can use a rake handle for better results

Hey I have an idea! Do a video about some of the items that Jackie Chan has used as weapons in his movies.

i use a wooden broom handle with electrical tape on one end as a bokken, very cheap, very effective, the electrical tapes rubber grip is amazingly reliable

Me with my wooden broom: hehe

Not great for hitting but it's slightly better at thrusting, but it can still bend and break very easily

I you fill them with mortar or silicone it is much more effective.

Try a wooden broom handle please, like one of those replacement heavy duty push broom wooden handles you can get at hardware stores

It works once - it won't take a dude down, but it will stun them for a few seconds... good enough for me.

My staff had a wormhole inside the hollow stick and shot out chains with daggers at the end. It was more a vessel than a blunt weapon. As a kids imaginantion of course

This is why I buy brooms with wooden stick sinceit atleast has more structural integrity

can you take a look at the wolf sledge from warframe

Spear

Well the metal ones do, the wooden ones done have such weakness.

They may not be tough but for the 3 seconds before I feel embarrassed about what I just did, they make me feel tough.

Jokes on you I've got a wooden broom and I've seen that be used

Oh it's just the Breath of the Wild durability system

If it breaks you got a spear/pike (depending on length)

Using one as a makeshift weapon is still better than nothing tho!

We still have wood brooms here

Hmmm can't help but think it becomes more deadly because you have sharp twisted bit of metal that can break off in targets

That's why I use a 1 inch diameter 3ft long wooden dowel

Please talk about gundams

Bro the brooms my family had always had wooden broom handles

I was the exact same except as a little kid I would pretend to use it like the guts greatsword 🤣👍👌

Still hurts when you get wacked by one

Neither do the metal ones, wood is the way to go

Depends on the material. A wooden one(aka. The GOOD brooms) is much better than a stupid plastic one. You see, wood doesn't bend like plastic does.

Is like orks weapons, but with muns, only when they handle it it works

I don’t think you understand how strong old metal broom handles are, I’ve literally hit one with a katana and longsword (stress test) and the swords were more damaged

Depends how good your broom is! What if its had 13 new heads and 32 new handles?

I have a decent sized stick that I use as a bow staff.

I pretended it was a short spear

Ever been knocked out by a crazy lady with a broom handle? My ass they aren't effective.

That's why a wooden one is so much better

Ok, I hear you but have you considered.....it's a stick sword?

i always had wood broom handles

What about wooden handles? How easily do they break?

Bring the N7 hat, get an upvote.

PVC pipe works best. Or rebar

it depends on the broom handle

They are hollow...fill them with something heavy and try it again.

until you use a solid hickry broom handle get hit with it or worse the solid steel handles. I learned it was solid ans steel the hard way.

Once it breaks. HAZAHHH A SHARP END

I don’t take up a broom handle I take up one of my two Bo staff which I have a bit of training with :)

but quarter staffs were 3 inches thick solid oak....not thin metal pipes

well mine made of metal and bambo stick

Or you can reinforce the broom with a metal Rod placed within

Try a yard/commercial broom.

i dont know what are you doing with that tube. but bloom handle are make out of wood.

Does it whack? Yes Does it stay together? For the most part Does it make for good defense? If you use it right So Is it a good weapon? Definitely

Who said I was using it as a bludgeon?

Just gotta fill er up with cement 😎

It would hurt the first or second hit but it has crappy durability

I saw someone say the metal pole in a clothes cupboard (that you put the hangers on works well) sound legit?

Take the plastic tip off and use as a thrusting weapon and it's not half bad that metal sharp haha

Wooden ones?

you ruined a perfectly good spear

How if you break it after bend? It will make sharp point or at least tear some meat

You're just trying to get us to break brooms so we keep buying them. I'm on to you, the BIG-BROOM industry isn't pulling the wool over my eyes...

Yeah but i dont use a broom handle like that i like to do some cool spinning motions with it btw i have done this for 4 years so i kan spin them in cool ways

I feel like I could get 1 good hard swing in at least

I've broken a broom in this way.

they will definetly hurt though and if it breaks you could stab.

Metal broom handles aren't good either, found that out fighting my brother

All my brooms have wooden handles

Mom - you borke it no dinner for you

Full wood broom handles....

The bow and quater staff, two weapons all brits can use from birth

You could probably do more damage by thrusting

I already knew that, since I accidentally hit the plastic covered metal broomstick against the wall.

Nah. They make good single strike weapons.

Sharpen one end

Whaaaaat? You mean the light, cheap, hollow metal tube isn't an effective weapon? Who knew?!
