I should keep it for all the vac work , even if you use it just to break up the gutter gardens

Thats the price you pay for well engineered gear

Post by: Chris Galloway on October 11, 2008, 03:53:42 pm: Cant find a pic or it being sold on the website, i guess its discontinued.. so it may be worth it as a antique :P
Title: Re: Gardiners gutter scoop
Post by: ftp on October 11, 2008, 04:20:43 pm: It's listed under new products on their website probably let it go for thirty with p&p (no vat ;D ) over £60 new.

Have no use for it 'cos i've gone and got a vacuum system now.

it is a good idea i am not disputing that and it has taken some designing i reckon but well engineered! (a couple of pieces of metal welded together!) i do still want one but not at that price!

Post by: jeff1 on October 11, 2008, 06:32:56 pm: They are a little expensive but Alex did come on and have the decency to explain the reason why, the cost involved in getting something like this designed and built doesn't come cheap.

Title: Re: Gardiners gutter scoop
Post by: Kevin R on October 12, 2008, 10:17:44 pm: I would keep it. why? well every now and then I use a tool thats very similar and it saves me getting a ladder off the van. The gutter Vac is excellent but somtimes hand / pole tools really help ;) The spike is my favorite but sometimes in corners of gutters well rooted plants need a wider tool in order to remove them.
