Lightweight and easy to use, but don't do your gutters until they are dry...or you'll be covered in the gutter gunk

The unit works well as an extension to my Worx blower. My Worx blower is an earlier model that did not have the matching rectangular nozzle, so I needed the universal connector that comes with this kit. The connector is a windproof fabric, and the ratcheting latch secures the connector firmly, and I have not had this fall out. The only con is that the connector does balloon up, which is to be expected. As there are no spines or frame on the connector, depending on how you hold the tubes, occasionally you can kink or pinch the connector bag. Not a big deal, although the ratcheting latch has a rubberized grip, but not totally sealed so there is sometimes a bit of blowback from the connector.The tubes fit fine, and I can now easily reach my gutters without bringing out the ladder. My only beef with the tubes is that with the weight of all the tubes attached, when raising and lowering the unit there is some sagging at the locking joints, and I got a bit concerned if the screw interlocking joints might snap. Hasn't happened, but I'm just keeping an eye on it.Also, in order to use the tubes effectively I had to add a couple of D rings to the handle and use a shoulder strap to support the blower. This allows me to use both hands on the tubes and not have to hold onto the blower.This extension really makes a somewhat tedious and risky task of gutter cleaning less so by letting me keep my feet on the ground.Update: after a couple years of use these tubes still work fine. The issue that I have noticed however is that there is now a very noticeable bow in tubes. The output nozzle and all the tubes lock in the same place so when the blower is on the pressure on the tube is away from the nozzle and so there is this permanent arc,

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!
