I personally prefer battery powered tools, but I know not everyone is like that. For this reason, I decided to include the Hitachi RB24EAP on our list. It’s a gas powered handheld blower with high performance and an impressive warranty. This blower is made by Greenworks, a company renowned for its wide range of battery powered tools. What makes it perfect for cleaning gutters is that it’s low on maintenance, but fairly powerful. Battery powered leaf blowers don’t need fuel to run, making them very cheap to operate. And it only weighs 10 lbs, so your arms won’t get tired from holding it in an upwards angle. The answer to this will largely depend on the size and pitch of your roof, as the larger the area and steeper the slope, the greater the capacity and flow of rainwater being channelled by your gutters will be. However, a good rule of thumb here is to have one downpipe for every 9m (30ft) of gutter. Installing more gutters can increase the capacity of your system, but it can be problematic if you don’t have enough drains around your property to direct them into. If you already have an existing gutter system that you are simply replacing, the easiest solution is to simply count the number of downpipes you already have. Do I need to use silicon spray on the gutter joints? Another great aspect of the leaf blower gutter attachment kit is that it can be used on both gas and electric battery-operated leaf blowers. Simply fit the included adapter and you will be good to go. Final Thoughts

Gutter cleaning scoops are great if you’re comfortable on a ladder. These inexpensive options look like large candy scoopers and allow you to reach down into your gutter and scoop the debris accumulated at the bottom. Gutter cleaning scoops are extremely effective, but they require moving the ladder every 4 or 5 feet. Scary fact! 48,000 people are injured and 40 killed while working at height in the UK each year, and 60% of those include falling while using a ladder or scaffolding. So safety is a must! My time in the fire service taught me the dangers of working with ladders and heights and it’s definitely something to be taken seriously. For 2-hole fixings, and 40mm x 5mm non-ferrous round head screws for 1 hole fixings. 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). Do I need to install leaf guards in my gutters? It has a high-quality mesh hood that you can tighten over your waste can with a drawstring. This is very effective in keeping all leaf litter and debris contained. So in this article, I will talk about the various ways of cleaning your gutters with a leaf blower, as well as their pros and cons. Also, I will tell you which leaf blowers are the best fit for this kind of job, and why.

With our recommendations described above, it’s time to dig into the finer points of gutter cleaning. This section explains the most important considerations to keep in mind while shopping for the best gutter cleaner. Gutter Conditions Place your ladder up against the wall at an angle of around 4:1 (i.e. for every 4 metres of height, the base of the ladder should be 1 metre away from the wall). The main advantage this blower has over the Greenworks I talked about earlier is that you don’t have to worry about battery life. On the other hand, it takes gas to operate so make sure you have some at home if you are planning to use your blower. Adjust the length of wand based on your application. The length of every part is 15 inch. 6 pieces of wands are included.Note: The downpipe and elbows linked above measure 3″ x 2″, but these measurements will not fit all leaf blowers. When positioning your ladder, make sure it is feet are on firm, flat ground and not tilted to either side.

You simply need to select the tube height that will work best for you, attach it to your Dewalt leaf blower, and reach up to clean the leaves in no time at all. Not only is this great for gutter cleaning, but you can use it for all sorts of tough-to-reach places too. During my research I found many unanswered questions on the internet revolving around this topic, so I figured it would be a good idea to write a more in-depth post about it. Aside from PPE, there are other safety aspects that should be given consideration. When having to work at height, the safest thing to do is to hire some scaffolding that removes the need to constantly climb up and down a set of ladders. However, for many of us, hiring a load of scaffolding and waiting for it to be installed, and then taken down again after use, for, what will likely only be, a one-day job won’t be all that appealing; at least not if you have a trusty set of ladders, that have served you well up to now, and a decent head for heights. Other than that, as long as your leaf blower is functional you are good to go. 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. I’ll show you all of these later. Recommended leaf blowers for gutter cleaning The Amerimax Home Products 8300 Gutter Getter scoop offers a budget-friendly option for cleaning out gutters without cleaning out your bank account. This plastic scoop features a flexible tip that improves its fit in the gutter as well as a high handle to keep hands out.If at all possible, avoid working alone when ladders are involved. You ideally want someone with you to hold the base of the ladders and make sure it stays steady and secure while you’re up there. If that isn’t possible though, take extra care to make sure your ladders are well braced against slipping out from under you. This is one of those “universal fit” variants I have talked about earlier. It’s usage is pretty straightforward, you assemble the tubes and connect the universal adapter to the nozzle of your leaf blower.

While Dewalt leaf blowers on their own can do a pretty comprehensive job of meeting your leaf tidying needs, there are a few nifty products that can take these power tools to the next level. For example, a leaf collection system and leaf blower gutter tools are some of the best Dewalt blower attachments out there. The answer to this really depends on two things; what type of gutters do your neighbours have and what type of gutters are you planning to install on your side of the building? While you may share a gutter run with your neighbours, if you live in a semi-detached or terrace house, there shouldn’t technically be any issue with you having a different style of guttering to them as long as the two systems can still be joined up with a suitable adaptor. Therein is where the difficulty lies, however, as not all guttering systems are compatible with each other. You will need to try and find out the size, profile and brand of your neighbours guttering and then compare it to the compatibility chart provided by most guttering manufacturers. Floplast offer the following connection table for their gutter systems: As well as explaining how you fit gutters; we’ll touch on a few frequently asked questions too, such as:Working from ladders can be quite dangerous though, especially if you don’t know the safe way to use them. Even if you’ve been using ladders to clean your gutters and windows for most of your adult life, we’d still recommend refreshing your ladder safety knowledge by at least glancing over the following set of instructions: As far as the best Dewalt leaf blower attachments products go, the Worx gutter clearing kit, which is also universally compatible, is also a pretty good tool to have handy. The kit comes with five different plastic tubes of varying heights, which save you the hassle of trying to borrow a ladder when cleaning those hard to reach gutters. There’s a chance you’ll need to use offset bends to bring the downpipe run close to the wall. Make sure you place pipe clips directly under these – and at 1.8m (around 5ft 9inches) intervals as you secure the downpipe further down the wall. You won’t need a huge toolkit to get your new gutters in place – even the most humble DIY toolkit will usually have everything you need: Telescopic hose wands are ideal for those who prefer to keep both feet planted firmly on the ground. These products attach to your garden hose’s threaded fitting and allow you to reach gutters without a ladder. They have hooked arms that reach and spray down into your gutters and telescoping sections for convenience.
