A Sweeper & Packer (sometimes called a long handle brush & dustpan set) is a cleaning tool combination designed to simplify floor cleaning without bending. It typically includes a brush (sweeper) and a pan (packer/dustpan), often both with long handles so you can sweep up dust, dirt, leaves, or debris from floors, patios, yards, or garages while standing upright. Whether for indoor surfaces or outdoor use, this tool helps reduce strain on your back, speeds up cleaning, and keeps living spaces tidy with minimal effort.
