Review on Zip Hinge Downspout Extension Universal by Jamie Rogers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Assembly problems

The hinge is made of very thin sheet metal and is therefore a bit wobbly. Installing the hinges on my downspouts took a lot longer than the video shows. The video shows the installation in an ideal world. The angle of the downspout end, the height of the downspout from the ground and the length of the extension are factors that will determine the installation. I had to trim the length of the downspout and cut the angle of the downspout elbow and try a few times before getting the downspout extender to hook the downspout properly. The extension was 5 feet long. The bottom line is that the loop works, but be aware that you may have to spend a lot of time setting it up. I would also advise the manufacturer to use thicker sheet metal. That would cost a few cents more.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Small things
