Works like a charm, even on high second story gutters.
I have on long 2nd story gutter that I could not clear using a fairly long ladder. I climbed up on the roof to see if I could get at it from above, but that looked more precarious than I was willing to risk for a clean gutter. So after reading a batch of reviews on different products I decided to give the WORX a try. I own a Toro leave blower. The WORX came with a cloth sleeve that could be tightened with a ratcheting belt. I replace the Toro blower head with the WORX sleeve attachment and tightened the ratcheting belt. I think the attachment would fit most any blower. After assembling the remainder of the WORX (mainly sticking the parts of the long air tube together in an obvious fashion) I tested the unit out on a gutter I had previously been able to reach from a ladder propped against the gutter. Now I was able to blow it out standing on the ground. I saw that if I’d only ordered the unit sooner I would have saved many hours and a lot of scrambling up and down the ladder. But I had bought the WORX to clean the distant second story gutter. The assembled WORX wasn’t long enough to reach that gutter, so I resigned myself to working from a step ladder. My idea was to work from the ladder with the blower in one hand and controlling the WORX wand with the other, but the air pressure at the gutter end of the WORX was too great for me to control the long unit with one arm. I wedged the blower into the top of the ladder and using both hands found I was able to easily control the WORX. I found that if I hooked the WORX into the gutter and holding tight before turning on the blower I was easily able to control the WORX, although debris and leaves rained down on me. Even with having to climb up and down the ladder as I moved along, the gutter was soon cleaned. I am very happy with the job the WORX did.Some lessons learned:The sleeve fell off the blower a couple times when I first started. But after really ratcheting down the sleeve belt, I had no further trouble.The debris really blows down, I recommend wearing a pair of goggle and a hat.

Works well
Used this for cleaning ranch style home and 1 story garage gutters. It worked well with Black and Decker Corded Blower. Attachment to tube was better than attaching to the housing and it did fall off a few times. My gutters were full and a bit damp but it had plenty of power to clear them. My Ryobi cordless blower was not strong enough to do the job, maybe because the leaves were damp. It is a bit awkward to handle the blower and tube because you need 2 hands on the tube so rigging up a shoulder strap would be helpful. It was helpful because I couldn’t reach some of the gutters on a ladder and I had to get them clear to pressure wash them. The pressure washer worked well once I cleared the gutters but didn’t do much when the gutters were full. I was running out of options to clear the gutters but this did the trick.

Stupid canvas attachment flies right off the blower. Frustrating and useless.
Such a great idea that failed in execution thanks to a totally inadequate way of attaching the long tubes to the blower. The canvas bit that joins the tubes to the blower cannot be tightened sufficiently to prevent it from just flying off the blower when it’s turned to the high setting. The high setting is necessary to create enough forced air up at the gutter if you’re using all of the provided tube sections. If there were snaps or hooks on the blower for the canvas bit to attach to this MIGHT work. EXCEPT that you need both hands to hold the connected tube straight so it doesn’t crimp and cut off the air. That would be fine IF the blower had a shoulder strap… I tried this twice one day and twice again the next day and all I accomplished was frustration. I returned the set and reordered the blower separately because it’s a really, really good blower. The lowest setting let me blow dry maple leaves off the top of mulch without blowing away any of the mulch.

Truly Universal, Well Constructed and Works Like it Says (read the directions!)
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!

Very sturdy, takes a bit to get used to it, but works great , no more ladders or unsafe situations, works great with gutter guards…
