I have been doing those downspout straps for 25 years it helps to distinguish between your work and others and it is a much cleaner look had a customer call me back and say how are my downspouts going to stay on the house without straps lol merryman gutters on Yelp and you can see some of my work
Straight pipe straps work the best :) So does round outlets work better adjustable left and right. :) An I also hope you made a diverter flange on the left top end cap so the water don't run along the wall to the bottom gutter
Measure from the face of the facia board to the back of where "B" (side shot) elbow will sit and minus 6". For "A" (face shot) elbows, measure from face of facia to the siding wall and minus 5"". That will give you length of the neck.
I aint gonna roast u on shit bro bro, ur a damn wizard when it comes to gutters. I loved that video of u telling how the This old house guy was doing the gutters different then u, 😆 🤣 😂 😹 and that facia was so warped 😆 🤣 😂
We measure the whole downspout in 2 measurements. One is for the neck and other is diagonal one (in this case from top B to Lower A). For the neck if its 26” we will minus 6” and call it 20” with two Bs. And for the diagonal one, If its total of 112”, I will minus 5” from it and call my helper to make a 20”/107” with Bs to the right and an A elbow at end. And we use factory made straps here in Cananda.
We use the same screws as we use for hangers, and put a tiny downspout shaving in the drilled out hole. If you want to see how it's done, we have a video that you can check out!
Your clip idea Is brilliant I just done it and everyone in my family said looks so much better than a strap... thanks for the idea...
you bet!

Great video, thanks.
Could you talk about downspout offsets? For example a one inch offset , which can not be done with fittings. Thank you

What types of screw can we use for the brick wall?

Do you price the downspout footage differently than the gutter?
Where did u get the shear snips?
I also prefer to use 3”x3” for everything is there a reason why you use 2x3?
What’s the tool to cut the X in the gutter?
Malco punch
@StartARainGutterBusiness do you have a video showing how to do the X hole by hand?
Ever try cutting the downspout with a circular saw?
Just tried this yesterday, worked surprisingly well. Just go slow.
Is that someone's house? Holy shit!
I cannot find curves anywhere, ive been to every store.
Nice ladder 🪜 work!!
