Got a school gutter clean job coming up. Pine needles everywhere  ::)rol thinking of buying this tool to help with the job. Anyone have it or can pass comments on if it’s worth it?

Quote expensive for what it is - a funnel!

My experience is the needles actually get stuck in the hose and the swan neck bend than anywhere else  - not really had issues sucking them into the hose

Yes it is expensive. I do have the sky vac head which has the wide fitting to stop blockages. It works a great I must say. I was just trying to avoid blocking on the way I’m also. It’s going to be a pita either way but it’s every six months so I don’t mind the investment if it actually works

We're fairly new to gutter clearing. We did about 150 last autumn/winter (our first proper go at it).

Only had 1 which was an issue with dry pine needles. Took an extra hour.

Not really sure how a funnel would help, as Smudger said, it was getting stuck in the swan neck.

I'm going to be sarcastic here ( sorry )

You need splash & dash to pop on and tell you he does over 60,000 meters of gutter clearing every month... 
(won't tell you if the funnel thing is any good tho - but might be condersending regarding your equipment  )

again sorry - just getting it off my chest

No never used that funnel thing , don’t usually have problems with pine needles using the 51 mm poles and hose , and the wider top bend .
