A standard broom is a lever, which translates some force in the horizontal direction. The motion of one hand uses the other hand as a fulcrum, allowing the force of both hands to be exerted in the same direction. Either hand can be considered as a stationary or moving fulcrum.
With the fulcrum at the top hand, a broom is a class 3 lever (load and force on same side of fulcrum).
With the fulcrum fixed at the middle hand, a broom is a class 1 lever (force and load on opposite sides of the fulcrum).
Push brooms and whisk brooms are not levers.
