Anyone know the trick to cutting an X in a gutter to attach a
downspout? Just use tin snips? Or is there a pro trick?

Don't confuse me for a pro.

Score the outline (rectangles are easier than rounds). Run over this 2-3
times.
Make the X cut and keep scoring it till the utility blade cuts through.
Use pliers or small vice grips to remove the quarters.

I have done it this way many times.
