Thumbs up on the backpack, been thinking about that since you first started experimenting with the process. Keep up the great content, you have helped me a lot! Yony
Your ON The right track, I own the sky vac 85 I modified my craftsman 6.5 hp vacuum is a 2 1/2 inch vacuum hose and my carbon fiber poles. It works great.
Nice video! I am wondering where you got the nozzle though. Simpole sells some sectional carbon fiber poles for gutter cleaning. I am trying to use the last 2 sections of my Simpole Excaliber pole. Hose fits right on the end of the biggest section of my waterfed pole.
@@PanefullyClear this an old experimental video. We are currently using Sky Vac Elite carbon fiber poles on a handheld blower on the daily. Lots of gutter blower videos in my channel
I have the Craftsman gutter cleaner attachment which is basically this thing you built. It does not do well with vac or blow with pine straw and I'm using a fairly strong 12gal shop vac. This past week I got an Ego 650cfm blower and yesterday go the gutter cleaning kit. 100% difference in performance and it took me 30 minutes to blow out as much gutter as you have here. I still had enough power to clean up the yard. Go electric and you wont have to be sucking in those fumes. You can get a backpack adapter for their tools with a 7ah (and I think a 10 or 12ah is avail) to keep the device light if you need it.
Joe.. I have the interceptor. It’s worth every penny to stay safe and handle 100% of gutter jobs. Can’t put a price in safety. Who cares if it takes 20 extra minutes. Those house that have drop offs in the back are no problem. Yes 3-4story extensions are a bit to leverage but no way my 28 or 32 would reach. Nor would I want it. You’re successful.. stop messing around and just get it
Looks great. Backpack is the way to go. Try getting a larger diameter hose as that will increase volume of air going through the system. I have a similar set up. Blowing is much faster than Vac.
Just curious how you are liking this setup or what setup you think works best? I do tree work mainly but I had an apartment complex ask me to do gutter cleaning on 31 buildings all are 3 stories. I want to be able to figure out what works best if I get this job then I will likle get their other 25 locations. That's a lot of roofs to climb on so if I can do it from the ground that would be a huge plus. Thanks for any info and stay safe out there.
Just do a dyi Beam tube setup. Just made mine yesterday. It's light and works like a charm. I got high gutters. Banged them off in no time! I couldn't dust of my wallet enough to buy a Skyvac setup, but using Beam tubes? $50 canadian.
So much more you can do to make that better..Those vacuums don’t commonly come with a master seal between the canister and the vacuum. I used weather striping cut in half. You need to make sure it is rubber, not foam. They commonly make them in a “D” type shape. Put the sticky side into the vacuum side with the channel around the edge..
Try a gas powered echo leaf blower/vac combo. May have more CFM. I know it is near 400 blowing. Not sure on vac though. From home depot at $249.00 165 MPH 391 CFM 25.4 cc Gas 2-Stroke Cycle Leaf Blower Vacuum. I know there is a $200 option in some model too. Echo or Stihl.
I use a skyvac it runs on a generator got it in the spring. I'm happy with it .I'm guessing I'm not gonna use it all the time but it's gonna help with crazy hights and where I can't with a ladder. It will be a good tool to have in the fleet
@@powerfulimprovements the 85 and I got A 100 ft extension cord from Amazon. I'm definitely looking forward to using more and more for the upcoming gutter season I know it's not gonna do everything but I work solo and I'm thinking about safety and coming at the end of the day.
My backpack blower takes about 10 to 15 minutes to clean my 300+ feet of gutters. Hipped roof, easy walkable pitch. Then 10 minutes to clean up the mess on the ground.
Hey Joe have you every thought about a jetter nozzle to clean out gutters? Of course you'd have to get up on a ladder but was wondering if you have ever tried something like this!?
How instead of your super expensive carbon fiber tubing if you would have used 2” schedule 20 PVC central vacuum tubing instead? It’s rigid and lightweight. your vacuum nozzle end should have had a few notches in it so it would not suck tight against the gutter bottom. Instead of that expensive metal bend, a couple of PVC 90s glued together might work too? 2nd story work always is a bit wobbly.
You need to put some felt on that metal head, if you’re scraping the finish off gutters the clients are going to have a rust issue down the road. I’d also recommend attaching a camera to the end.
Not sold on this idea. Many times debris will be wet and don’t think this will Work. Blower idea you had I think was the best idea if we could figure out a better extension system.
YARDMAX YF1565 209-cc 4-cycle 1200-CFM 150-MPH Gas Walk-behind Leaf Blower…. Hook a hose to this and you have 1200CFM at 150MPH ( you can vary the blower by using the throttle ) Cost is $349 for this blower at Lowes.. Just have to fab up a hose connection
@@powerfulimprovements it only blows but if your wanting something cheap but very powerful to blow out gutters and even use as a hosed yard blower I think it would work great if you can fabricate a hose connection on it… Thinking about grabbing one for us to blow out gutters and leaves behind bushes .. I figure a 2 1/2” inch 30’ long hose would work
I'm looking for a system that blows like a leaf blower at 120mph out of a 40ft extension.....Whatever keeps me from using ladders on these condominiums.....Point me to that product please! haha
Forget Ghostbusters. Who you gonna call, GutterBusters!!!!! Love it Joe. Great job
✌🏼😎✌🏼
Don’t care what Mike C says. That’s some genius level stuff man!!!

Wound up making a sweet handheld blower with carbon poles
"DAMNIT JIM" that Joe Deery fella did it again!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, somebody better sponsor this man.
😂😂😂 I wish

I’ve been considering battery blower next

Yes I keep looking at the interceptor. I’d have to trailer it and it weighs how much?
$6,999 is expensive! But I agree on safety! Does clean muck out? The worse gutters?
@@Alaska610ish yup.. pulled plenty of putting greens out. Released the suction and let it drop to the ground.

Which backpack I got
I main man ,love it bro 😎 gonna buy myself one and I appreciate the brilliant idea
Next level 😂✌🏼❤️
Great video Joe.
Where can I get the tucker poles? I like the backpack setup.

I’m using a hand held blower with carbon fiber poles now. Works great. Lots of videos in use from fall of last year

Beautiful!!! I’m sure it woks perfectly
That's pretty Bad A$$ Mr. Deery! I love it!
Thank you Cliff! I’ll refine it a bit more, but this works slick as is

Hey Joe how are leads in CT? over here in MA things are very slow, just a few leads here and there but nothing close as before. Thx
It has absolutely dropped off
I have been looking for a gas shop vac, but the only option that I see is $6,000 vacuum by sky vac.
It's expensive, huge and only 280 cfm.
Try a gas powered echo leaf blower/vac combo. May have more CFM. I know it is near 400 blowing. Not sure on vac though. From home depot at $249.00 165 MPH 391 CFM 25.4 cc Gas 2-Stroke Cycle Leaf Blower Vacuum.

Awesome idea with the backpack blower
Thank you
Huge fan of the backpack setup
I’m going to continue on that path
Try Ego leaf blower with gutter cleaning assembly attachment
Ha spoke to soon you did it!!!! Niceeeeeeee

Which model sky vac did you get?
@@powerfulimprovements the 85 and I got
A 100 ft extension cord from Amazon. I'm definitely looking forward to using more and more for the upcoming gutter season I know it's not gonna do everything but I work solo and I'm thinking about safety and coming at the end of the day.
Where did you buy that?
Hahahaha love it brother anything to mak the job ezer. Definitely need one hate gutters
My backpack blower takes about 10 to 15 minutes to clean my 300+ feet of gutters. Hipped roof, easy walkable pitch. Then 10 minutes to clean up the mess on the ground.
Yep. Walking roof with a blower is by far the fastest
Hey Joe have you every thought about a jetter nozzle to clean out gutters? Of course you'd have to get up on a ladder but was wondering if you have ever tried something like this!?
Yes it would work. Just gotta combined with washing
Backpack baby like I said before! Cut it off just below the throttle, attach your flex hose and you’re good. 💪🏻💵⭐️
Yep. Next mod
Where do you buy the pole extensions? Thanks
Rucker
Look at those muscles 💪!!! Big Joe
💪🏼😂👉🏼
Hi Joe, where did you purchase the goose neck attachment for your water fed poles?
These are vacuum poles
@@powerfulimprovements where did you get the nozzle you are using here in this video?
@@PanefullyClear that metal nozzle came with my Tucker aluminum poles. Not recommended using metal
Maybe there’s a way to connect this pole ext. to your blower system. More rigid I think it may work well.
How instead of your super expensive carbon fiber tubing if you would have used 2” schedule 20 PVC central vacuum tubing instead? It’s rigid and lightweight. your vacuum nozzle end should have had a few notches in it so it would not suck tight against the gutter bottom. Instead of that expensive metal bend, a couple of PVC 90s glued together might work too? 2nd story work always is a bit wobbly.
From what I’ve seen that might work. We did buy a sky vac now
Good night. Good to know your well
I like the backpack unit 🤓👌
👍🏼👍🏼
You need to put some felt on that metal head, if you’re scraping the finish off gutters the clients are going to have a rust issue down the road. I’d also recommend attaching a camera to the end.
That’s true. My other set up is plastic. Likely going carbon fiber pole set up
Rust issue? On Aluminum or vinyl gutters?
16:22 IS SO FREAAKING COOL
Nice! I can hear Mike already lol
😂😂
I'm thinking perhaps 2" thinwall? EMT.
This was a few months ago. We wound up buying carbon fiber poles
Rig is good but it's not gonna be very good if you can't see what is happening. Still need a camera on the elbow.
Not sold on this idea. Many times debris will be wet and don’t think this will
Work. Blower idea you had I think was the best idea if we could figure out a better extension system.
Yeah. I’m ordering carbon fiber poles next
Super thanks nice cpasibo

I say backpack blower. It looks way more user friendly and efficient.
Absolutely
Matho Matho Man, I Wanth to be a Matho Man....
