WORX WA4092 Gutter Cleaning Kit for WORX Leaf Blowers with up to a 5” Inches Tube

Ok, first of all some of the reviewers here need to actually read the directions. The universal sock tube is NOT designed to fit over the tapered end of the plastic pipe that connects to your blower. The instructions specifically state that the universal adapter is to be placed over the blower OUTLET. The ILLUSTRATION clearly shows that the plastic pipe that is normally attached to the blower is to be taken OFF. In other words remove the one or two piece plastic blower pipe from the blower and attach the universal sock tube directly to the blower outlet that is right next to the main body of the blower itself. If you do this, it fits snuggly and does not come off.As for the twisting, once again, read the directions. The pipe that attaches to the universal sock adapter actually has a twisting coupler built into it. Once everything is attached, in order to get the elbow to point the right direction simply twist the coupler at the first extension pipe next to the adapter. This is necessary since the elbow and each piece of tubing do not just push together but instead screw together and then lock in place. The coupler allows you to twist the first piece of tubing and get the elbow pointed where you want it. If you do this the sock adapter won't twist and tear. You may need to re-adjust the elbow from time to time depending on the job. The only way you will twist the sock adapter and tear it is if you don't like to take care of your equipment, never look at how it is designed, or use it like a gorilla would.Finally I have a Makita BHX2500CA Commercial Grade 4-Stroke 24.5cc Handheld Blower and the sock tube attaches securely. The plastic piping is in my opinion grade A and not "flimsy" at all. With all four extensions connected, the piping does not flex, bend or bow when it is raised to the gutters. I have used it on my gutters without issue, even blows wet leaves and water out (watch out you will be a mess when you are done!) As far as the elbow coming off, I have no idea how the one reviewer managed to cause the elbow to come off? Does he bang the thing on a wall first or maybe he has a 600 mph blower? As far as using the system, holding the blower with one hand and the extension with the other can be tiring. It is tough to hold the extension down when my Makita is at full speed, but it can be done. Overall I think this is a great product that works perfectly. It is sturdy and well designed. Truly universal as well!

If you are looking for another tool in your toolbox that will help you clean gutters this definitely fits. Cleaning the rain gutters is not only difficult but also dangerous going up on a ladder. This gutter cleaning kit will help reduce risk and is quicker than the tried and true ladder method. But, if you think this is going to make the gutter job a walk in the park, you are wrong (that's why I gave it four out of five stars). Cleaning gutters will still be work ... but safer and faster work.Pros* You don't need to get on a ladder so it's much safer (although I still used a ladder in one place to check how the cleaning went after cleaning the gutter). The cleaning job was good in removing material from the gutter. I had missed one spot, so going on the ladder helped me locate the area I missed and check how clean the gutter would get. If the leaves are wet, it may be more difficult to blow the material out, so this is something to do before it rains.* It's faster than cleaning a gutter by hand because you are not taking the time to move and reposition the ladder every few feet.* The gutter cleaner attached easily to my Craftsman Blower using the adapter. The adapter fit tightly and did not move once attached. In fact, I was puzzled on how to remove the adapter until after reading the instructions. You need to squeeze the sides of the latching mechanism.Cons (or lessons learned)* Expect to get dirty so wear appropriate clothes. I would recommend goggles or glasses to protect your eyes, there is a lot of dust. Also a dust mask was helpful. I would also suggest wearing a hat, you will likely get material blown on your head. Gravity still applies and you will be under the gutter using the tool.* The leaves are blown everywhere. Be prepared to use your blower afterwards to clean up around the house.* It's cumbersome to hold the blower and the gutter cleaning attachment at the same time, but it can be done with one person with average strength.In summary, the gutter cleaning kit works as intended. The gutter cleaning kit makes the job easier and safer, but it's still not a walk in the park. You will likely get the job done faster, but it's still a dirty job.
