Roof Gutter Cleaner Tool - Ground Leaf Removal for Home Maintenance

Ok I was skeptical, but ordered anyway I am 70 year old woman, who did not want to climb a ladder and didn't , I have lots of trees , leaves were filling/ overflowing my gutters, I'm on a fixed income who can affordto pay someone ? my gutters, thank goodness are 10 to 12 feet high I had a pole from a painting project I attached it to the device, to clean my front gutters , it was tricky my roof shingles slightly over hangs the edge of gutters connected to my home , making for a tight squeeze lifting device full of leaves out of the gutter , I had to manipulate it slightly sideways to get device and leaves out , which became stressful or tiresome, but I persued, it does work with patience plus trial and error I truly believe there could be some improvements made to this device , making it better , like cup shaped scoops, instead of salad tongs , cups would hold and bring out more leaves at each grasp and a eye type hook to place on pole to lock, or clip rope taught into position so the forks don't loose grasp/tension while bringing out each scoop of leaves I have to pick up a longer pole for my back gutter , and my front gutters need doing again , but it's something I can do safely from the ground and encourage anyone who needs to clean their gutters to give it a try , it's not hard it's just repetitive Update I used the gutter cleaner 3 more times as leaves continue to fall and fill gutters , each time used I am able to maneuover device better each time The secret is to attach device to extension pole with the clear fishing line in front of the pole not riding on or behind device , the pictures do not clearly show this Once I attached the device with fishing line in front of the pole , I was able to firmly hold pressure on the cord and bring large scoopful of leaves and debris out of the gutter , it makes an amazing difference in the amount of leaves retrieved
