This is a brilliant idea, and currently seems to have the best customer reviews of any gutter cleaning system. The fact that it did anything at all to that fossilized gutter mess you had just proves it works!
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this video. Definitely a tool to skip. Having owned the EGO blower with the gutter cleaning kit for 2 years, I’ve had to blow worse gutters than what you had at the beginning of this video and the EGO had no issue blowing everything out. Ryobi would probably have been better off coming up with a gutter attachment for their 730CFM blower than this contraption
You're welcome! This is why I enjoy making honest and thorough reviews in real life examples, so viewers such as your self can make proper decisions. Thanks again for your kind words and support
I like where your head is at. I just went to check. It looks feasible. There's a safety collar I managed to pop off but that's as far as I got. I'll have to go back later when I have some more time and see how the blower fan is attached, as it looks like I have to take apart the housing to access any kind of release. Let me get back to you and I'll see what I can find out.
@@thehousemann Oh, thanks! That's great. The hedger is only a 15" blade, but I wonder if two can be welded to double it. That all might be too much for the little 40250 motor.
@@thehousemann Maybe some kind of a coupler sleeve over the shafts, welded to one of them. Then some reinforcement so the weight of the hedger wouldn't pull it apart. What drive mechanism bends through the elbow? A helical spring-metal material?
The blower can attach to any powerhead that will accept it. I think it would definitely work better on a gas power head, but again it has its limitations depending on how packed in the gutter is

Yea, it's just the initial clean that's rough, but if you keep up with it and just give your gutters a once over every few weeks, it's solid
One of those tools where you spend more time trying to get it working properly than it would take to just bust out the ladder and do it by hand.
I do agree with this. I feel like this tool might be better suited for those with tall gutters that feel sketched out about getting onto a ladder.

I think you should use this on a regular basis instead of waiting until the gutter is packed with leaves and debris.
That's exactly what I said/concluded in the video. It's meant to be a maintance item.
Right I missed that part, I rewatched thanks!
I wonder if that can be hacked to replace the head, past the bend, with the hedge trimmer attachment. I have 12' Yews that need to be topped annually.

I think the biggest issue is going to be securing the two prices together since the power head is usually the one with a locking collar

@cameriqueTV haven't taken it past. But so far it seems to be the hex/spring type drive shaft
Does it clean out Birds nests?
Theoretically it could
@The House Mann Does this work with the gas powered motor? Possibly better??

@@thehousemann thank you. I got off my ass and did it by hand 😂
I'd rather just use the blower attachment
That's a great plan if you can reach. I think this is more so aimed at those with gutters on a higher floor.
It seems weak
It's limited by the power of your power head
looks like a useless tool
It works fine if you respect it's limitations.
Waste of money…..
You really don't seem to be a fan of this tool. 🤷🏻♂️
