Gutter hoover carbon poles flapping around

Does anyone else's gutter hoover pipes say 5 lengths and above become nearly impossible to control when trying to clean townhouse gutters...to the point of wanting to throw it over the fence and get the ladders out...lol

Looked bloody terrible in front of neighbours homes..didnt help the crappy gutter brackets every metre catching the end...aarrghh

P.s carbon fibre poles

I actually use a WFP with a fabricated bracket that holds the hose. It is heavier than the carbon fibre poles but a lot more sturdy and quicker to change heights.

I used 5 carbon ones for the first time last Friday, don't normally bother with anything over four but gave it a go....it was hard work but not a problem as such...would not want to use more than five though.

Does anyone clean any of height then..? It seems a waste to of bought 8 poles..to not be able to safely use at height.
It seems just a gimmick then to ask proper money for easy to reach jobs but no use for what there really for..?!

Can you tell me any more? I've been thinking could I just buy 25 m vacuum hose and clip it to top of slx with a 135 degree bend to get it up to gutters?

Best to get a scraper first and loosen them, then suck them up and lift them out in sections. Hard heavy work but doable with the right gear.

Lol..i wouldn't want to try and force then wedges with a 8 mtr long carbon pole..they'd catapult into the houses opposite like missiles.The carbon poles bend ridiculously. Think of a fishing pole .. Just the same...pmsl

As I said doable with the right gear. 

Which brand of gutter vac poles are you using ? I have the gripper vac v4 poles I have had 5 lengths together and it's fine really impressed with how sturdy they are.

Can go over 40', majority straight lifts and whilst heavy doable. Its when you have to go at an angle,  :delusional: This is one of the few times it helps being 6'5 and 20+ stone 

Reaching over the conservatory to reach the rear gutter of said townhouse..2nd floor..not much fun..also then small gutters in the roof pods..?

Pro Gutter tools adapted to fit on a WFP sorts that out easily
