WC,
No wouldnt make any difference, ok to 10-15ft after that forget it because its the leverage of the neck that makes it bend. Nip to B&Q and but a couple of sections and try it. Did think of using c/f outside and fastening it to plastic but when you do try that its time consuming, the joints dont match up etc. Similar with putting outside the pole vac hose strapped to c/f sections, not really an answer.

Definitely a market for gutter work. I picked up 3 jobs yesterday and 4 today which I'll fit in on rainy days. Haven't even bothered to advertise it yet although it's mentioned on my business cards (gutter cleaning safely without ladders) that I give to all new customers.

Oh dear, oh dear......the best solution is to get the Upkeeper machine and then you avoid both carbon fibre and aluminium! Oh and it also has a 3 inch clear tube so no blockages!

Avoid carbon fibre and Aluminum and have cheap plastic instead!

a 3 inch clear tube that is useless after 25 feet as it just doesnt have the power!

That's odd because I regularly clean 3 stories and have also done some 4 story. If you prefer the Omnivac then fine, use it. I don't, I'm happy with the Upkeeper and it earns me good money. It doesn't need a seperate generator or  power supply so can go anywhere outside. It's also good to be able to see what you're sucking up flying down the tubes as you know that it's working well.
Each to his own!

Its stated maximum working height height is 25ft. I had a trial and it was poor in relation to the Omnivac. Omnipole also do a clear plastic end that allows you to see what your sucking up.  The up keeper (folding version) is still quite large not much different in size between that and my generator and Omnivac.
Except I can use the generator for other things and my Omnivac for inside buildings.

Of course its horses for courses but the upkeeper is really a domestic machine. The Omnivac can be used at 48ft - some difference you must admit.

I'm def more interested in these gutter things, but is it best to make your own I dont see how you can get the plastic pipes stiff enough to clean well.
