Gutter Cleaning Tools 11 FT, Rain Gutter Guards Cleaning Tool with Long Pole, Roof Gutter Scoop Leaf Cleaning Tool, Gutter Shovel Cleaner Tool

my wife found this after listening to me grumble about cleaning the gutter. What a great find. This has incredible reach and is designed to allow you to maneuver it over and under gutter straps. It made cleaning the gutter a quick job and greatly limited the number of times I had to climb up and down the ladder. it comes in sections and each section screws in easily. If you want to shorten the reach of this tool just unscrew one or more sections and it still works perfectly fine. You will love this tool.

The product is very flimsy and doesn’t reach properly to the roof to get the leaves off because it is so flimsy!

I got this because I was tired of making someone else hold my ladder every time I need to clean my gutters. At first I tried gutter guard mesh inserts in hopes I'd never need to clean 'em out, but those didn't work. So then I started looking into something that would let me clean the gutters from ground level. I tried a broomstick and a paint roller from the dollar store, and that actually worked very well... But it wasn't really sturdy enough and kept breaking every time I used it.So I looked for something a little more professional than my DIY solution and landed on this thing. On paper it looked like it had everything I wanted - a long and durable tube, and, most importantly, a screw + bolt to keep the business end attached to the pole, which was something I specifically sought out because the broomstick-paintroller combo broke at that part very frequently.I tried this pole on the same day I got it, and it really works. I successfully cleared out my gutters without needing to get out the ladder, though I didn't realize how easy it was to splash your own face with gutter-gunk from ground level, so definitely wear glasses when you use it.The pole itself is very durable and sturdy - I was a little worried that it might bend or not lock in well enough since the pole is segmented and you screw each length of pole together to customize how long you want it, but there was no issue at all with durability of the pole or the attachment point to the tool. It felt very solid in my hands, without being so heavy that it's a hassle to use.The problem came from how my metal gutters scratched up the plastic tool head a lot. I'm not sure how well it will hold up over time if it's so damaged after one use. But then again, gutter cleaning isn't something you do that often so maybe it'll be fine.The other problem I had with it was that sometimes it was tough to get gunk out of the gutter depending on the angle I used (since I have a lot of trees on my property I can't always get the optimal angle because trees are in the way) - I'd have liked if there was a second scoop or hook on the bottom of the squared off part of the plastic tool to make it easier to lift crud out of the gutter. I'm thinking I might attach a plastic spoon there and see if it helps improve things.Either way though, I got this to clean my gutters and it worked for that purpose, so I'm giving it 4 stars. If the plastic head were a little tougher, I'd have probably given it 5 stars, because that's the only real substantive complaint I have.

What a great find. So easy to use, easy to maneuver and light weight. I can’t reach my gutter from the ground, as just underneath I have a pool screen, so it makes it challenging to clean. I have to use a ladder on the side of the house and rake the leaves.Up to now I have been using a pool pole, withe the smallest wire brush, to be able to pull leaves through: which has been cumbersome and highly inefficient, but it’s the best I could do over the years. ( I am too old to climb on the roof).Come this little guy, and bingo ; the leaves are raking through so easily.I like how you can slowly extend the pole… and it doesn’t come off!I got a second order, just to get extra extension for the last few feet of the remaining gutter.When I opened the box and saw the plastic hook, I wasn’t sure how effective it will be… but did its job !

My son and I never could figure out where to stand. For some reason, the hook isn't angled off-axis, so this works properly only if you stand above the end of the gutter (i.e., on a ladder). It sort-of worked by crawling on the roof itself, but we had to lie flat, head down, and then pull across our bodies. (My son is smart enough to not let me do this part.)

Gutter cleaning is always difficult for me - I am older and it does get more difficult in time. The gutter cleaning tool has a nice long handle and the scoop and attachment at end makes it easy to get the leaves that somehow land on top of my gutter guard and just stick fast. I am able to just reach up and scoop them off without any problems.

The cleaner piece is supposed to be inserted into the pole with the hole in it but they are the same diameter. See photo

The pole metal is hammered, so it is much stronger. Very sturdy.
