Summary
A job that inspects the appearance and function of broom products in the manufacturing process and sorts out products that do not meet standards.

They mainly perform visual inspections to check the density and variation of the bristles, and the finish of the handle, measure dimensions using calipers or gauges, and remove defective products.
