We also carry this different model of
gutter cleaning tool.
This unique, patented tool eases the job that nobody likes. No more covers or screens which clog and allow debris to fall onto shrubbery and walkways!
Eliminate the danger of climbing ladders and crawling along roofs. Efficient, safe, and easy to use from ground level: extend your reach to approximately twelve feet!
Made with lightweight aluminum shafts, generous pliable rubber hand grips and ABS jaws, hinged with a steel pin: Gutter Tongs are 60 inches in length, durable, and made to last!
To use the rain gutter cleaner: merely spread the arms apart and slide the open jaws either from left to right or right to left. Once sufficient material is collected, swing the arms together, lift upwards, and remove the debris.
While sliding the tool along the gutter you may frequently encounter "hanger nails." When confronting one merely swing or tilt the jaws sideways, pushing the debris beneath and to the opposite side of the nail. Then just lift the tool over the nail and continue cleaning.
Leaves, needles, and other debris can be neatly disposed of in a wheelbarrow or bucket.
One can also easily grasp a garden hose nozzle with the tool's plastic jaws. By turning on your spigot you can flush out smaller gutter debris you may have missed. In fact, if you want to you can grasp and lift a hand mirror using the jaws to insure it's totally clean.
The tool is primarily designed for single-story gutter maintenance, therefore it can only reach upwards to approximately 12 feet in height.
