Question 1

Is it good at picking up wet leaves too? Do you recommed this product?

Accepted Answer

It will pick up wet leaves better than dry ones, which it tends to catch one leaf at a time. What's important, however, is that you need to have very wide gutters. We have normal-width gutters with the shingles slightly overhanging. For me, the tool would go into the gutter, but then get stuck. Had to twist and turn it to get it out, which usually caused me to lose the leaves it had grabbed. All two times, that is, because then the plastic simply broke during the twisting and turning, and that was the end of it.

Question 2

Are these strong enough to pick up thick debris? I have saplings growing in my gutters and they are quite thick.

Accepted Answer

I pick up mostly anything but my neighbor had maple trees growing, a single mom, Her gutter were 100% full of soil and trees . Packed tight ,This tool will not get that out. you could hire a pro this one time. Once gutter is clean clean them 1 to 4 Times a year. I clean them 4 times a year but I have trees over my roof. It takes me 5 min to clean my gutter when kept  clean .I only have to clear the gutter near the downspouts, this is where all the leaves wind up.

Question 3

Can I use this tool if i'm sitting on the roof of my house dropping what I gather over the side of the gutter vs standing on the ground. I want to see what I'm doing but do it safely vs sitting on the egde of the roof scooping and praying I don't slide off. Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Just remember to be very careful.  On a steep roof it would be easy to misjudge your balance and end up rolling forward.

Question 4

I took awhile but I think this works like a pair on tongs.  Do you ou pull the string and it squeezes the legs together?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  And it works well for removing leaves without getting on a ladder.  Some practice and patience are required.
