Don't know if it's any good at the end of a pole, but it's a good tool
the get the composted muck out of gutters, and it's everyone's
favourite price...


I actually found a purpose-built gutter "rake" in one of the sheds
(Homebase I think) a while ago - bought it, and never got it dirty :-}

Here`s a picture of the end of it, it came on an aluminium pole about 4
foot long

Exactly what i was thinking of mounting on the end of a long reach pole so I
could drag it backwards a bit at a time and then flush through with a hose
(somehow).

I'll have a look around of few places.

I made one out of a length of 1" diameter dowel and a small piece of ply
cut to the profile of the gutter, later replaced the ply with an offcut
of uvpc.
