Product Information

Installing a new gutter system is definitely a job you want to save for a nice sunny day - trying to put up guttering that is already channelling water off your roof and right on to you would be pretty miserable to say the least. This is especially important for stop ends, so make sure you count up exactly how many gutters will need capping on their right-hand side and how many on their left-hand side to avoid running into problems during installation. I hooked up each tool to its appropriate power source (garden hose, pressure washer, or vacuum) or used the manual tools from atop a ladder. If connecting lengths of downpipe is required, use a pipe socket and downpipe clip again – making sure you’ve used silicone lubricant to ease the fitting and make sure everything’s watertight.

I recommend this blower if you prefer gas powered tools over electric ones, or just looking for a reliable tool in general. Since the area you’ll be cleaning is relatively small, even one of the medium-sized handheld blowers should be sufficient in most cases. The Ridge Washer gutter cleaner is a pressure washer attachment that provides two jets of water for cleaning gutters. It should only need a little pressure to fit to the first length you put in place – then you’re ready to use the provided fittings to fit it to the fascia.

You don’t have to think of anything overly complicated, it’s usually a tube with an angled top nozzle, allowing you to reach the inside of the gutter from the ground level. The universal adapter is a little flimsy to deal with, as it’s a nylon boot that cinches down on the leaf blower, but it does the trick.

In fact, unless you happen to be very lucky, you’ll almost certainly need to cut the last section to get it to fit into place. You can also use countersunk screws, but extra care must be taken during installation to ensure you do not overtighten them (especially when using power tools). It was fine for washing dirt and grit, but when it came to leaves, it either didn’t kick them up at all or simply piled them up instead of blowing them out of the gutter.For example, a leaf collection system and leaf blower gutter tools are some of the best Dewalt blower attachments out there. For a more detailed breakdown of what each component of the gutter system is and does, check out the guttering system overview in our basic guide to guttering. Another thing worth noting is the warranty on this product which is rather impressive: 7 years for consumer use, 2 years for commercial use, and 1 year for rental use.

There are brands that have their own gutter cleaning kit, but if yours doesn’t then don’t worry because there are some “universal fit” attachments out there. As long as you’ve followed step 7 and used some silicone spray, this should slide on without too much pressure. When your final section is clipped into place, you’re ready to fit an external stop-end to finish the run.It also felt like it could serve other purposes, such as vacuuming in vents or other nooks where a standard vacuum won’t reach. It’s usage is pretty straightforward, you assemble the tubes and connect the universal adapter to the nozzle of your leaf blower. Starting at the outlet end, place the first length of gutter in place – slotting the rear of the run into place first. To help you do this, we have created this guide to be a straightforward, yet comprehensive, walk-through of everything you’ll need to do to prepare for your installation.

It comes with 5 extension tubes, and a shoulder strap – something I’m really missing from the other kits out there. Adjusting the head and nozzle were both very easy, and the shut-off valve does a good job of controlling the pressure.

I liked that the tip conformed to fit the gutter but was also sturdy enough to chip away some of the buildup. It’s backed by the RYOBI 3-Year Manufacturer's Warranty and includes RYGUT Gutter Blower Attachment, (2) Extension Shafts, and Operator’s Manual. Holding the stop end or gutter running outlet section of gutter in place, mark the overall position and the fixing holes’ positions onto your fascia using a pencil. Ideally, you’ll get someone to work with you to make sure your ladder is secure while you’re attempting to fit your products.
