This use-from-the-ground gutter cleaner is made of a 12-foot-long piece of 2x2-inch wooden pole with two pieces of 1x2-inch wood cut to fit the spout. Willard Pearson angled the handle so he can walk about 4 or 5 feet away from the base of his Dawson, Minnesota, home. He reports that he cleans out the eaves easily – and avoids the risk of falling.
