A lot of thought should go into a broom that is kept on the tow truck. Many factors go into this tool that may seem frivolous. Where can you stow this tool? Should it be collapsible? Will the collapsible feature negate the structural integrity? How wide should it be? All of the things that make the broom an efficient and reliable tool should be considered carefully because out in the field, sweeping up a quarter of a mile of crash debris is sometimes necessary to reopen the roadway! There is no time to stop the crash scene and head over to the hardware store to pick up a good broom, so it's important to have the right one on board before heading out into the field.
