Description of Gutter Getter 00652 Gutter Care and Cleaning KitThe Kit consists of a Gutter Grabber debris retriever, a Gutter Getter scoop, a 42-inch steel extension handle and 2 Big Top high capacity downspout strainers. Use the Gutter Grabber to rake the debris to you and then scoop it out with the Gutter Getter scoop; much like a broom and dustpan for your gutters. Then protect your downspouts with the Big Top strainers. The ABS and polypropylene Gutter Grabber is designed to clean even the hardest to clean gutters. It reaches over and under gutter hangers and because of the uniquely shaped blade it will work in gutters with even the narrowest opening. With the attachment of the 42-inch steel extension handle you can clean 14' of gutter from each ladder position; even reach places where you can't place a ladder. Use the polypropylene Gutter Getter scoop to remove the debris that you have raked to you. The Gutter Getter is flexible and will fit any gutter while protecting hands from painful scrapes and scratches. Gutter cleaning is as easy as rake, scoop and toss! Next protect your downspouts and keep your gutters flowing with the UV protected polypropylene Big Top Downspout Strainers. This high capacity strainer has over 2 and a half times the surface area of a typical strainer to collect debris before it needs to be cleaned; less maintenance, more peace of mind. The tools clean up easily and will last for years. Kit Contents: 1 Gutter Getter Scoop w/wrist strap, 1 Gutter Grabber Debris Retriever, 1 42-inch 3-pc. extension handle, 1 Twin pack Big Top Downspout Strainers and 1 instruction sheet.
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gutter Getter 00652 Gutter Care and Cleaning KitCustomer Review: Saved Lots of Time, Hard Work, & My Hands (narrow gutters too!) Summary: 5 Stars
I have very narrow gutters, which makes cleaning them very difficult on my hands. My hands always get very scraped up and takes a lot of hard work to dig out handful by handful into a bucket with the help of a garden spade. However, this completely solved my hands getting scraped up, and significantly minimized the hard work and time involved. I am very happy with this. It isn't built to last forever, but for the price, it saved me a lot of time and no scraping my hands.
The four piece extension scraper is quite long and saves you a lot of time moving the ladder. I could just pull the thick muddy leaves towards me. I really didn't have to move my ladder at all for my ~12 foot sections. My only difficulty wasn't related to this, which was having to get around a tree that was in the way of ladder placement. It easily scrapes thick leaves, mud, and water in my narrow gutters. You only have to work a little bit getting above and under the reinforcement bars that hold your gutter out at even intervals. I just pulled from the top, then fit under and pulled the rest. Also, I scraped a few feet at a time working outword instead of trying to pull everything at once from the furthest reach towards me.
The scoop is absolutely excellent for my narrow gutters. It is plastic and flexible and can push into different widths. However, you cannot easily just scoop. What I did was use this scoop as a pan, scoop it in at an angle, then use a garden spade to pull the thick muddy leaves into the scoop and pack it in, and then in just a few quick scoops into a bucket it was done. It might not hold up durably forever, but the flexibility is perfect and the only thing I could imagine could fit into my narrow gutters in place of my hands.
I still used a gutter cleaner hose attachment, which is not part of this set, to wash out the mud & debris. It could have been left in perhaps, but it is easy to wash out with a U-shaped hose attachment two sweek along towards the down spout. The rest just runs down the down spout. I am very glad I did because my down spout was clogged at its first elbow. I just used a garden dirt poker to try to dig it out and it instantly poked free with proding. I then finished flushing it.
I easily inserted one of the down spout drain grate over provided in this set. So hopefully it will not get clogged again. There are two plastic tabs that you turn down and insert into the opening. With the narrow hole for my down spout, it squeeses the grate to fit snugly over the hole. I suspect those little tabs will crack off eventually in the hot summer heat. So I don't know how long it will last in place. It will also have to be removed for the next gutter cleaning because the scraper cannot just scrape over it with it in the way.
