Princess Auto had the tool holding magnets on sale when I was working on the project so was fairly cheap for me.

Very creative! do you put the bucket in float to sweep? I'll have to wait until after work to watch the video.

I've thought of the float situation but have not had a chance to check it all out yet. What you see in the video is about all the practice I've had so far. Snow started after the last try. Most likely spring will be the next test time. But in general I'm pretty sure it will be the go to broom for me.

You think it might work for light snow...? 1" or less. .

Yes it should work for light snow but I haven't tried it.

Much better than my design. I converted a back blade and put a dozen brooms on it. Problem was, not enough weight and it would just hop. Wasted a few hours and $100 on that little project. This is now on my to do list, but I will probably just go with a quick attach and make a platform. I like the casters, that is smart.
