This little baby packs a punch for the price (just over 30 bucks). I'm comparing it to an old Craftsman blower that recently died after about 15 years. So far I've used it four times czcams.com/users/postUgkx9IdbewMd3eOaX3SS_kV4wC73v6yWG2KY and it's done an excellent job. It's light, and it moves leaves and debris very well. It's a little shorter than the craftsman, but it's fairly easy to manage. I don't ever use the front grip (requiring both hands). If I did, it would increase the distance between the blower and the debris, or it would require me to bend over awkwardly. I'm 6' 3", so I just hold it (since it's light enough) with one hand down at my side and it's a perfect fit. It's also back-heavy, making it easy to maneuver up/down/left/right motions of the blower end. As a final perk, I can actually appreciate the safety cord lock feature, since my other blower's lack of a decent one caused my power cord connector to start falling apart, due to all of the pulling, etc. If you're not ready to spend 200 - 400 on a gas leaf blower, and you don't mind messing with a cord 2 to 4 times a month, then this thing is for you.
I made one out of PVC pipe, I filled it from the bottom. The thing would bend like a fly fishing rod. Also mine was at an angle where the water came out with one of those screw on jet nozzles
Small price to pay to get gutters that are too high up to safely clean from a ladder. Wear a rain poncho and dust mask/safety glasses and have at it. Rinse of with garden hose later.
@@clovisgauthier3602 I use a plastic face shield; it's better face protection than goggles and mask, and you don't need to deal with goggles fogging up and breathing through a mask all day.
First cut the tree back ,no branches should be over the house or touch the house ,I would cut back at least 3'. The debris is down the pipe still not fixed .Put a screen over the discharge hole of the gutters.
If you place a triple layered piece of chicken wire over the drain opening of the gutter then it won't get clogged, Of course you will need to more regularly keep gutters clean but I think in the long run it would be less work and frustration. Hope that helps.
Hate to tell you this but, I came up with this way of cleaning gutters 32 years ago. Someone must have seen me cleaning my gutters this way and got a patent on my I dea. I say this because, the next year these were all over the TV. Today, I have a better way of cleaning my gutters on my 2 story house. Good video though. PS, for those of you that think that this does not work, you are way wrong. It does work.
Well hey that's your fought you should have been patent this idea 32yrs ago yourself, so know one gives a shit if you did it first, jus means you wasted a blessing given to you cuz you didn't take full advantage of so don't knock the smart person that actually did

This tool comes with another nozzle/attachment in different shape (like the tip of a ketchup squeeze bottle) for cleaning the downspout.

Dude, you are a gutter baller! Well Done!
Thanks, i need something like this. Tried to make one out of PVC pipe but way too flexible. And yes i got all wet too.
i used this method years ago. Crap falls all on you while you do it.

That flexible end is the solution. Need to push down to clear the gutter.
thanks that was helpful!
Why not just put a 0 degree attachment on it? They come standard with pressure washers🤷🏿♂️
Excellent Ideas
And that works?😒😒
Thanks.
I would have showed that in action! anti climax, what a tease :)
I guess he tested it then decided to show the Rube Goldberg device. I definitely would have liked to see it.

Branches over the house shade it. As long as they aren't so big and heavy that they could damage the roof if they break off.

No pressure washer?
Those can really damage your gutter. Risky.
Thanks
GARBAGE
You don't add water to the gutter it just clumps into a huge mess.... Use air from compressor or backpack blower not fucking water... Jesus

horrible design , it looks like the nozzle is made to spray back at you .But great try fellas , i loved it
Doesn't spray back when in the gutter or downspout otherwise yes. It worked for me. Wear a raincoat.

Pointless for leaves. Will never work.
All talk, no action. Meh.
