This heavy duty floor squeegee is manufactured with heavy gauge zinc plated steel. Genuine Neoprene blades have excellent wearing qualities, which means they will last for years longer than the competition. The steel handle socket accepts any 3/8" stud handle, but we recommend using our all steel handle, or our 2-piece wood & steel handle. If you are looking for a curved or larger model, please take a look at our complete line of floor squeegees.
