Do you use the low pressure one for cleaning out the gutering, and what one do you use to clean the external parts of the guttering?

I only have 1 nozzle that fits to the gutter attachment, so I'm not sure if it's lower pressure or high pressure.

Also... I usually clean the outside of the gutter using my pole connected to a normal water tap / hose.

One word of warning though: It all takes a while to get used to... The lance will fly out of the gutter when you press the trigger... You will learn how to control it after a while though  ;)

Andy
Thanks Andy
I read the destruction manual, ;D ;D and it said about pulling the trigger at least 10' away and lower it to your work, it also warned the same move it 10' away before you switch it off as it will rebound :o

I notice you don't use the harness? I have 6 houses to do in the same road on the same day, do you recon I should buy the harness? I was going to make my own, its only to take the weight of the lance.

If you have a look on  cleaining pro's, under the pressure washer section I think it was merrel who answered that question himself, I think I read it may be a pain in the backside picking it up, not 100% sure so have a look, unless John knows the answer?

The gutter lance is bulky, heavy and for the first few jobs a pain in the arse!!   >:(      BUT....it earns well, its safe and doesnt take too long to pick up. When it gets to heavy and you need a break just rest it on your leg or let the gutter take the weight for a bit, then you'll be able to carry on without killing yourself. Good luck

Hi Macc
I know what your saying, But I'm a whimp  ;D  I just think it could give me a little bit more control when My arms get tired, I have 6 houses to do all in the same road, so the harness may just help on these 6, then after that it will probablly stay in the boot.

Jeff,

How big are the 6 houses?

Are you planning on doing them all in 1 day?
