Yet another gutter scoop!

This doesn't look super strong, but food for thought.

Looks like a modified paint roller!

Believe it or not this one is actually patented as well.

I think it's wonderful.

Hopefully lots of people will buy one, find out it's useless and then call us to do the job properly - at double the normal price.

I've been following the gutter scoop threads closely recently,.. some very good ideas coming up (maybe not so much this one!).

I've been wondering,.. since many gutters are different shapes/sizes etc, a hard metal/plastic tool might not be the most effective solution.

I did some gutters a couple of months back (off ladders for shame) and there was one long section above a single storey pitched roof garage that I couldn't reach. I used a spare pole with an old brush to "drag" the debris back towards me, and was surprised by how effective the brush was.

Perhaps a tool that is either a shaped brush, or slightly flexible rubber/plastic that will shape itself to fit the gutter would be effective? Drag all the debris to one end and then use a different tool to "scoop" it out?

I've done some from the ground with a bentley brush stock (no bristles) and it does work to some degree. I've just got the Gardiners scoop but have had no time to try it out yet. It seems very strong and well made but i can see how i'm going to be limited to what angle of attack i can use and which direction i can work at. Maybe i'll give it a go today on ny own house.

Right, i've had a little play with it, it won't fit every gutter - it all depends on the tile overhang but on the ones it does fit it seems to cope very well, the angles are well thought out and it's a very solid fit. The downside with it is that you are stuck with the angles provided, and i can't see an easy or cheap way around it but on those jobs with an easy straight run i think it's going to be money well spent. If the customer has asked you to clean their gutters anyway i can't see them clambering up a ladder to inspect your work but when they see the debris coming out they will know your clearing the worst.
 So a good attempt and probably the best solution i've seen so far.

For your reasons, that's why I came to my own design, it copes with even the most norrowest of space between the roof tile and guttering edge.

I haven't tried it with an angle adapter, that might make it more versatile.

I would think it would make it a little more Versatile , but go ram it to hard, those angle adaptors won't take to much hammering.
I'm interested so Let us know how you get on with it
