Hi guys

Does anyone use an extending lance to pressure wash gutters etc, rather than WFP them?

Any advice be appreciated

There heavy & very wobbly.
They do get a little easier with practice but still hard work.
I sold mine several years ago, didnt like it, didnt want to clean out gutters anymore.
If i was going to clean gutters in & out again i would gutter vac the insides and wfp the out,

I do.
Quite a bit actually.
If you do high stuff your shoulders will be reasonably strong so shouldn't struggle.
It is a different beast to a WFP but you'll soon get used to it.
Honestly, if you're reasonably strong you'll be fine.
If you're perhaps new or not particularly strong you may struggle. Don't mean that as a cuss-just the truth.
