Title: Gutter Buddy
Post by: Barryy on June 11, 2013, 10:20:55 pm
Hey guys, anyone tried one of these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SznE7dDljaA 
If so, how effective are they and where can they be got in the UK or Ireland?

Hi,Barryy

I took a look at the link & their website - seems to only be available in the states.
Seems a useful tool, for the odd occasion, but will possibly be for the acme thread - not the tapered thread?  however I could see this as another 'handy' tool that gets buried & lost in the van.
for the odd instance where I can't use gutter vac I've got some drain rods with the hinged dragging scraper tool that does a similar job.
Why don't you contact the manufacturer to see if they'll send one (or more) overseas?

Here in Ireland I've come across a lot of gutters that have the nails going through the gutter at regular intervals, making it very time consuming to clean, thought this tool might help. It looks like you're right about being available in USA only, I'll take your advice and email them. Thanks for your comments.
