Hi Marc
With all gutter cleaning jobs
This is what I do
Soak all gutters first this will help sucking all the debris out. With tight gutters  you can use part of a Henry Hoover taped to the end of gutter vac attachment omnipole. I have never needed a spike
Always carry black tape on van.

i have seen them for sale but can't remember where , they were around 20- 30 quid .

all they are is an angle adapter with a bit of crimped copper pipe on the end.

They are an attachment for the omnipole. I've got one and used occasionally, it helps but not great.

Weedhooks and downpipe forks...we believe you need to lift weeds out of gutters and downpipes.
