2-1/2 in. Gutter Cleaning Attachment Kit for Wet Dry Vac

If you have a Stihl BG50 gas blower, this will fit fairly snug inside the existing outlet tube that's already attached to your blower. It will slide in not quite a foot and come to a stop. It only take a few wraps with duct tape to secure it from blowing out. USPS dropped it off just before 3:30 pm. I had it assembled and gutters on my 2300 sq ft. house clean and all the fallen debris blown into the yard for the next time I mow, before 4 o'clock. The highest gutter on my home is short section about 10 feet from the ground. That's about as high as this setup with my blower can safely reach. The pointed nozzle, the one shaped like funnel is not needed for this setup. Stihl doesn't manufacture a gutter cleaning attachment for the BG50, so anything you get will probably not be a custum fit. This hits the pricepoint and does a great job.

This arrived on time was a good price (much less than buying seperate components to build one). My home is single level, it worked ok to vacuum out gutters while standing on the ground. The 4 star rating is because the angled part is 45 degrees, a 90 degree angle would work better. There was no info in the package to contact the manufacturer directly. The rubber sleeves for connecting to a smaller shop vac worked perfectly. I'm sure I will get several years use out of this product.

So these don't fit exactly well. However, I have a Rigid NXT 14 gal 6 hp shop vac I used them with. I simply took my hose from the "suck" side and attached it to the blower port. From there I attached the extensions and curved peice. These worked like a charm once I got the hang of it. They were able to withstand the power of my shop vac and cleared all my gutters. I'll likely use an epoxy to attach the attachments together for extra security. But I only need one of the wand attachments that came with it, the ones on my rigid vac were long enough. Pretty easy to use. I got these delivered on thanksgiving morning and 35 minutes later I was finished cleaning my gutters. I kind of suspect some problems people may have could be from not having a powerful enough blower outlet. But some of my leaves were wet and it still moved them out every bit. Very pleased with the product. I originally wanted the official rigid brand accessory but we've got snow coming and those wouldn't make it here in time. But these worked just fine.

This is a very good gutter cleaning tool set. It is different from some of the other offered sets as the pieces click together so they don't separate while you are using it. A good price too.

Rubber connectors wouldn't stay in place. It kept falling apart while trying to use it. Waste of money. I'm taking it to Goodwill to get rid of it.

This worked pretty well! I was able to get the gutter cleaned without having to get on a ladder, which was the idea. I have a single story older home. I knew that leaves had built up in the gutters, but a layer of peet moss had lined it as well. I had to unclog it several times, but I expected that with large oak leaves. It was very satisfying when I could feel that the gutter had nothing else in it. I had no issues with stability. I was lucky that I had 2 additional rigid tubes. If your not sure if you should order the one with 3 pieces or 4, go for more. I almost wish the tubes were clear so you could see where the clog is and watch what is being vacuumed up.

Gutter cleaning with a vacuum is hit or miss. These tools work fairly well if the gutters are not too wet or the leaves too large. They are light enough and robust enough to handle easily. They do tend to wobble loose quite a bit and require constant attention. The segments need to be taped together to prevent uncoupling.

My normal method takes me about four hours of lugging an eight foot ladder around and cleaning about two feet at a time. With this kit and my shop vac, it took less than an hour of work. There is more setup since you need a vac/blower and extension cord. The kit does have some issues. First, the parts do not fit very tight and the sections come apart easily. Simple fix is one or two wraps of electrical tape to take up the space and create enough friction so the joints are tight. Second is that at 5 foot it was a little short. I just added another wand section for my shop vac. Third, the end is curved a little too much so you end up blowing stuff towards where you are standing. This makes it way messier than the old method. Since I plan to store it assembled (hang it from a rafter in the back of the shop) I will probably glue all the sections together. I might go at it with a heat gun and see if I can reduce the curve a little bit. Over all, while not perfect it is very usable and worth getting.

Hard to use

Good for gutters 👌

Bit awkward to use. Kept on getting blockages at the nozzle. However I persevered and got a good rhythm going. Gutters now look great and are winter ready
