New PROGUTTER Half Round Gutter Cleaning Scraper

Cleaning gutters is one of my least favourite chores, but this tool definitely makes it a lot easier.It's just the scraper attachment, so you'll need a pole. It has a standard screw thread, so I got the Harris 5m Premier Extension Pole (available here) which worked great.To use it, I put my ladder in the middle of the roof. I could then scrape the gutters in one direction, pulling the debris towards me, and then turn to other side and do the same. No need to move the ladder - I could do the whole gutter from one position (unless you have a really big roof!)The scraper fits perfectly in the gutter so it's quite efficient. You'll need to screw it on the right way to scrape to either your left or your right, otherwise you'll find it doesn't fit, but it only takes seconds to unscrew it, turn it over and screw it on the other way. This will make more sense when you first use it.Overall - a good design, sturdy and strong.

The purchase price is fair enough, given that this is a clever idea made out of VERY high quality plastic. I found it moderately successful for cleaning my gutters. The reason I say "moderately" is simply because there are many different manufacturers of guttering, all a bit different so it's a bit of a "hit and miss" as to whether this tool will fit the curve/ contours of your guttering exactly. In my case, the tool radius is larger than the actual guttering which meant that it missed the mud on the very bottom. Oh well. Still a decent enough tool though.In retrospect I should probably have gone for their "Miniflo" tool. The Miniflo tool will reach the bottom of ANY gutter in a way the larger tools won't. . Might buy a Miniflo tool next year.

Simple idea that works well. No more stretching

This is a great, sturdy and usefull tool for clearing 1/2 round gutters. It attaches to a standard decorators extension pole using a screw thread. Can be attached both left and right hand to work in both directions.

I do hope it doesn’t break, seems very flimsy and not that well built.Time will only tell!?!

Worked well in cleaning my gutter of moss etc. would recommend

Very, very impressed with this angled tool.We affixed it to a long pole to be able to work on clearing the gutters on a standard 1905 terraced house. Obviously, the height means you can't actually see what you are doing and you certainly can't run it along in the channel of the guttering as seems to be intended. What it does do is provide a sort of prybar effect to really stubborn blockages without damaging the guttering itself.Very thick and sturdy and even after helping to dig some reed type grasses out of the guttering junction between us and next door it isn't chipped or noticeably marked.Fixing it to the pole was tricky as you need to make sure you have it angled best for both your own dexterity and the shape of the guttering. How difficult this actually is really depends on the pole more than the device itself.

Useful overall, though due to the length of the distance of the pole, it can twist and you could risk losing it, so just make sure every 5 mins you re-tighten it (but don't over-tighten it as you could either ruin the thread or crack the attachment as it is only plastic after all). I like that be attaching it 'straight', you can also use it to scrape moss from the roof.
