Product Information

For 2-hole fixings, and 40mm x 5mm non-ferrous round head screws for 1 hole fixings. You can also use countersunk screws, but extra care must be taken during installation to ensure you do not overtighten them (especially when using power tools). Do I need to install leaf guards in my gutters? Generally speaking, there are two ways to do it. You can either use a ladder and maybe climb onto your roof and use your leaf blower from there, or you can use a gutter cleaning attachment and do it from the ground. Second, I’d avoid using corded leaf blowers if you want to climb onto your roof. It can be done, but the extension cord is just one more thing you can trip over, and you don’t want that. I found the AgiiMan gutter cleaning tool kit to be one of the most effective gutter cleaning kits in this test. It came with several wands and four nozzles, and it snapped to my pressure washer without an issue. It was easy to manipulate into the gutter and had plenty of power.

Now, using a spirit level, you’ll be able to measure the fall on the string. If your initial maths was correct, it should drop approximately 3mm every meter. Step 6 This blower is made by Greenworks, a company renowned for its wide range of battery powered tools. What makes it perfect for cleaning gutters is that it’s low on maintenance, but fairly powerful. Battery powered leaf blowers don’t need fuel to run, making them very cheap to operate. And it only weighs 10 lbs, so your arms won’t get tired from holding it in an upwards angle. Basically, they need to be connected to your pressure washer, they connect at the tip of your spray wand, adding rigid sections, allowing you to extend the length of your spray lance until you can reach certain spots. If you’re using a running outlet the middle of a length, you’ll just have to repeat this process for both ends. Step 5 do the extension wands and the pressure washer nozzle tips. 2. Why Can’t Fiberglass Extension WandsThis is one of those “universal fit” variants I have talked about earlier. It’s usage is pretty straightforward, you assemble the tubes and connect the universal adapter to the nozzle of your leaf blower.

Note: This is another tool that I’ve found quite handy to keep around. I’ve used it for spreading salt on the walkway in the winter, removing debris from crevices around the house, and cleaning up peaches that fell from the tree in my front yard and were rotting on the ground. And, if the scoop should break, it’s cheap enough to replace. Important note: If you are planning to use Niagara Ogee style guttering from our Floplast range (or any other Ogee/K-Style gutter for that matter), it is vitally important to remember that the shape of this type of gutter is not symmetrical. Therefore, certain fittings are specifically “handed” for use on either the left or right hand side of the gutter. This is especially important for stop ends, so make sure you count up exactly how many gutters will need capping on their right-hand side and how many on their left-hand side to avoid running into problems during installation. They can truly up your leaf blowing game and make yard work more effortless. Leaf Collection System Another thing worth noting is the warranty on this product which is rather impressive: 7 years for consumer use, 2 years for commercial use, and 1 year for rental use. When positioning your ladder, make sure it is feet are on firm, flat ground and not tilted to either side.The only downsides I found were that it doesn’t come with an extension pole and that it doesn’t actually remove the debris; it collects it in one spot, so I had to remove it myself. However, it’s sturdy and ensures that you’re able to reach and gather nearly anything in the gutter, which potentially means less time moving a ladder. I’d suggest an extension pole to go with it, however. When your final section is clipped into place, you’re ready to fit an external stop-end to finish the run. As long as you’ve followed step 7 and used some silicone spray, this should slide on without too much pressure. Fitting Your Downpipe Telescopic hose wands are ideal for those who prefer to keep both feet planted firmly on the ground. These products attach to your garden hose’s threaded fitting and allow you to reach gutters without a ladder. They have hooked arms that reach and spray down into your gutters and telescoping sections for convenience.
