Gutter cleaning tools?
« on: February 25, 2008, 11:11:44 pm »
Why is there not a range of tools to screw on to the end of a waterfed pole to scrape the gutters out? Surely they could be made like the aluminium goosenecks? I can't see that anyone wants a spotlessly clean inside gutter, just an unblocked one, so maybe a hook or rake to hoick the grass out with and maybe a scraper to run the length. What do you reckon?

you won't be able to see if you have got all the dirt unless you put a camera on the top

I knew I had seen it somewhere before!!!

In your brochure  :)

Perhaps I wont bother now. Too small a market I would imagine.

Needs to have a vikan style thread to swap over quickly on my pole. How much bend will an arial pole take? or an aluminium gooseneck? I've got a couple i don't use - would they bend to ninety degrees in a pipe bender?

Alu, I dont think so it snaps/fractures.

Does alu snap in warm weather?

Why are the pictures missing from KevRs posts?
