Review on CRAFTSMAN CMXZVBE38640 Gutter Cleaning Kit: 4-Piece Set for Wet/Dry Shop Vacuums by Jessica Ness

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Saves in front of the stepladder

The gutter cleaning kit is suitable for both dry and wet leaves. My gutter was about 5 inches deep and was full of leaves. This product has made difficult jobs a lot easier (and safer - no more ladders required). It is recommended to walk back and forth ↔ between the hangers of the chute with a slight inclination from 90°, alternating directions. I was using my shop vacuum in "vacuum" rather than "blow" mode - didn't want the flying leaves to be picked up later. Also, I would recommend a separately purchased hose clamp with a bleed value (this will allow you to "pull off" extra sheets or get stuck 90° on a metal slide and help control the direction of the nozzle). The whole job consisted of about 250 feet of gutters of wet and dry sheets. It took about an hour to complete the whole parameter of the house. The Craftsman tools were a perfect match for my old Ridgid vacuum.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Quick start guide
