Seeing all the posts about leaf blowers: I bought a gutter cleaning attachment kit for my leaf blower, thought it save me from moving around a ladder. Worst purchase ever.
Trying to balance 10ft+ of 3"-4" plastic tubing that only snaps into the blower with 2-3" inches of overlap while holding the blower trigger with one hand is impossible. Once it gets a couple degrees off vertical it would just pop off the blower. Okay: Lets drill that sucker and put a bolt through it. That helped the connection, but still awkward to use.
Now that I got it to hold together I can then see it's pretty ineffective on anything but dry maple leaves. Any sort of twig or a wet clump of pine needles & you're better off getting the ladder.
Plus it can't clean out the gutter drain opening which is where 90 of the problem is. And how do you know if there's a blockage unless you get out the ladder?
Nope, used it once, to the shed it stays. A 6" wide brush on a long handle let's me clean about 16' of gutter at a time without leaning on the ladder is still preferred method.
Never used the blower for leaves, but it's great for cleaning off large driveways prior to seal coating (sure beats pushing a broom), blowing off equipment, and especially well for blowing out the hot tub water lines when closing it up the fall, etc..
