Vacmaster 2.5-Inch Gutter Cleaning Kit, V2GK

I had my doubts that this would not clog up with wet leaves, and it occasionally does but any clogs clear pretty quickly. I use this on our pole barn gutters which is surrounded by trees. This is a far better alternative for me than going on the roof and leaning over into the gutters to clear by hand.

I live in So. Cal, I don't get much in the way of leaves etc. My gutters develop a hard packed layer of dirt. This tool works really well but only after I attach a brush to a drill and loosen the dirt. Once I do that it's a quick and easy job.

Wasn't sure if this was going to be a handy gadget, or a silly gimmick, so shopped based on price. Well, it works. Pretty well. Hooked it up to my big shop vac. It mixed well with other assorted flexible and solid tubes and ends that have accumulated over the years as various shop vacs have met their demise. 2.5in outside diameter TUBE on the fat end. *(yeah, I know, these are all slip fittings, so you'd think it would be inside diameter and called pipe, since that is the critical size for joining stuff. ) The pieces are plastic type PP (polypropylene), so despite being black, don't store it out in the sun, it will get brittle with UV aging. Moderately heavy ribbed castings, not much flex, stiff. Stuck together fine while vacuuming, and held together while leaf blowing out the gutters, but a bit of blue tape wrapping the joint for security might be wise, as others have noted, they may blow apart, and, being brittle, may crack if they land on concrete and such, or you manage to step on them.

This attachment works great for getting leaves out of the gutter without having to hold the vacuum up.

Bought this to clean my ranch style home gutters VS paying someone $75 to do it for me. Worked perfectly and no running up & down a ladder. Sucked the leaves out with my Shop Vac. I had no issues with them not staying together, just twist a little when you push them together and your good to go. May be a different story if you're trying to hang by the wand or maybe using with a blower (didn't try blowing), but no issues just cleaning the gutters with vacuum. Definitely better when the leaves are dry. dumped my shop vac in the yard and mulched them up with the leaves on the ground. Done & done. Very happy.

Amazing!! I wish I bought this 19 years ago when I bought my house. So easy!! Works great!!! I bought this kit to use with a Ridgid 16 gal. 6.5hp shop vac. I was a little apprehensive because it wasn't a Ridgid OEM accessory but everything mated up perfectly and is of good quality. As you can see from the picture a very few of the maple tree seed pods (helicopters) remained because they get stuck in the gutter guards "slots". I was always disappointed with these gutter guards because of this and because they promote ice buildup in the winter. Since this accessory makes it so easy to clean the gutters I may just remove the gutter guards. I'm sure there's all kinds of gunk that worked its way into the gutters through the small slots and is hidden and impossible to get to because of the guards. I expect this accessory will make gutter guards unnecessary allowing access to fully clean mud, sand etc. from my gutters on a regular basis. I added one (Ridgid) accessory "head" (See pic) to the hooked part to get up on my roof to vacuum seed pods that didn't quite make it into the gutters. The Ridgid shop vac has locking hose and wand parts but this accessory kit does not. However I didn't have any problems with parts coming apart as friction and vacuum keeps things nice and snug. However, If you have problems with parts coming apart just use some duk tape!

I was pleasantly suprised at how well this kit worked. due to the prohibitive cost of some of the other gutter cleaning kits I was considering some of the DYI PVC options on youtube, so on a whim I looked one more time and saw this kit. I was worried that the peices might come loose or fall apart throughout the job but I found just the opposite to be true. If I gave the extension and other peices a good push and twist when putting them together it was actual quite hard to get them apart. I The debrit in my gutters mostly pretty smallish in size (redwood pine comes and needles, etc) so the method I found best was to use just the elbow first and get most of the major debrit first and then add the reducer to get deep down and all the rest. I was using a Craftsman 6.0HP/130MPH vac. I use one of the extentions that already came with my vac and added a 20ish foot hose as well. I would just use the ablove method one section at a time between each gutter support. Did the attachment clog from time to time? Yes, but I simpley pulled it down and cleared it. The hose clogged occassionally as well, but over all, for the money I think you cant go wrong.

i like this—no more climbing a ladder to clean gutters. it works great, but it didn’t fit my blower. however, went to home depot and bought a shop vac extension tube and got it to fit into my blower end…now it’s a ok.

Too big for the pipe that I got , sent back forrefund

You have to be sure everything is in place and well insert. Do the job perfectly.Il faut s'assurer que les tuyaux sont bien connectés avant de débuter le travail. Ça fait le travail parfaitement. Personnellelement, je n'utilise pas le bec en entonnoir pour permettre de bien ramasser les feuilles.

The product worked as expected. I decided to cut the cone-shaped piece in order to make a wider hole. If your eaves have a lot of debris, the tip gets clogged easily. Trimming a little off to make a wider hole fixed that problem. The pieces do come apart easily but a little electric tape solved that problem.

Fait ce que cela doit faire.Cependant beaucoup de jeu entre les embouts. Donc, une fois l'air lancé, le tout se déconnecte (principalement l'embout réducteur mais aussi le coude). Bien sûr cela se "répare" vite en "shimmant" avec du tape electrique mais au prix vendu..... C'est indécent 😠. Très décu

Fits all standard shop vacs
