ABSTRACT:
The cleaner includes a long pole having a mirror adjacent its upper end for inspection of the gutter from the ground without using a ladder. A gutter-clearing tool above the mirror has a downwardly angled arm provided with a lower working tip that may be in the nature of a scoop. The arm may comprise a two-part construction having an inner work component in the form of a pick for removing downspout clogs and an outer component in the nature of a scoop so that the cleaner can either be used with the scoop or pick as the exposed operating device. Components of the tool can be infinitely adjusted to accommodate gutters of various shapes and sizes and to assure that the user has positioned the device at the most advantageous angle of attack for inspection and cleaning.
