on 6/27/2009 You could try a new tool called the Gutter Clutter Buster. This cool tool attaches to a standard 2-1/2" wet/dry vac and sucks every bit of the debris out of the gutters without climbing a ladder. You just have to check out the web site at www.gutterclutterbuster.com abd see it for yourself.
